A second run of this command needs about 5.5 s which means the startup time (load and compilation time of the package and the libraries) has been reduced to about 18.4s.

Without a system image the first time execution of the script "simulate_simple.jl" on the same computer is about 71 seconds while the time for the second execution is the same (5.5s). So now about 47s of time are saved after each restart.

Introduction

Most of the functions work on a KPS3 or KPS4 object. For this, the variable s is used. Such a variable can be created with the lines:

using KiteSimulators
 const s = KPS3(KCU(se()))

Or, if you want to use the 4 point kite model:

using KiteSimulators
-const s = KPS4(KCU(se()))

Functions with an "!" as last character of the function name modify one of more of their parameters, in this context mostly the variable s.

  • steering: Relative steering, must be between -1.0 .. 1.0.

This function sets the variables s.depower, s.steering and s.alpha_depower.

The type AbstractKiteModel with the implementation KPS3, KPS4 and KPS4_3L, representing the one point, the four point kite model and the four point - three lines model, together with the high level simulation interface consisting of the functions init_sim! and next_step!. Other kite models can be added inside or outside of this package by implementing the non-generic methods required for an AbstractKiteModel.

Additional functions to provide inputs and outputs of the model on each time step. In particular the constructor SysState can be called once per time step to create a SysState struct for logging or for displaying the state in a viewer. Per time step the residual! function is called as many times as needed to find the solution at the end of the time step. The formulas are based on basic physics and aerodynamics and can be quite simple because a differential algebraic notation is used.

Now you can quit Julia with the command exit(). If you want to launch Julia again, be sure to be in the correct folder and then type julia --project. Without the parameter --project it will not load your project settings.

The first run of the script will be slow because Julia must compile the code. The second and any further run is very fast, but only as long as you do not leave your Julia session.

Comparing the one-point and the four-point kite model

Start Julia in the project folder you created before:

cd test
 julia --project

and then execute the command

using KiteModels
-include("examples/compare_kps3_kps4.jl")

Use the command include("examples\\compare_kps3_kps4.jl") on Windows.

The last view of the animation should look like this:

Initial State

You can save what you see with the command savefig("kite.png").

Exercise

Modify the variable ALPHA_ZERO in line 11 of the script until the lift force of the 1 point model and the 4 point model match.

Questions?

If you have any questions, please ask in the Julia Discourse forum in the section modelling and simulation , or in in the section First steps . The Julia community is very friendly and responsive.
