time_variables

property SpurGear.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',

• bending_stress: 'bending stress',

• contact_stress: 'contact stress'.

'tangential force', 'bending stress' and 'contact stress' are 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, bending_stress_is_computable and contact_stress_is_computable for more details.

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.
