time_variables¶

property WormGear.time_variables: dict[str, list[UnitBase]]

Time variables of the gear. Each time variable is stored as a dictionary key-value pair. The available time variables are:

angular_position: 'angular position',
angular_speed: 'angular speed',
angular_acceleration: 'angular acceleration',
torque: 'torque',
driving_torque: 'driving torque',
load_torque: 'load torque',
tangential_force: 'tangential force'

'tangential force' is listed among time variables only if they are computable indeed, depending on which gear parameters are set at gear instantiation; see tangential_force_is_computable.

Corresponding values of the dictionary are lists of the respective time variable values.

At each time iteration, the Solver appends every time variables’ values to the relative list in the dictionary.

Returns¶

dict: Time variables of the gear.
