FGFDMExec Class Reference

Detailed Description

Encapsulates the JSBSim simulation executive.

This class is the executive class through which all other simulation classes are instantiated, initialized, and run. When integrated with FlightGear (or other flight simulator) this class is typically instantiated by an interface class on the simulator side.

At the time of simulation initialization, the interface class creates an instance of this executive class. The executive is subsequently directed to load the chosen aircraft specification file:

fdmex = new FGFDMExec( ... );
result = fdmex->LoadModel( ... );

When an aircraft model is loaded, the config file is parsed and for each of the sections of the config file (propulsion, flight control, etc.) the corresponding Load() method is called (e.g. FGFCS::Load()).

Subsequent to the creation of the executive and loading of the model, initialization is performed. Initialization involves copying control inputs into the appropriate JSBSim data storage locations, configuring it for the set of user supplied initial conditions, and then copying state variables from JSBSim. The state variables are used to drive the instrument displays and to place the vehicle model in world space for visual rendering:

copy_to_JSBsim(); // copy control inputs to JSBSim
fdmex->RunIC(); // loop JSBSim once w/o integrating
copy_from_JSBsim(); // update the bus

Once initialization is complete, cyclic execution proceeds:

copy_to_JSBsim(); // copy control inputs to JSBSim
fdmex->Run(); // execute JSBSim
copy_from_JSBsim(); // update the bus

JSBSim can be used in a standalone mode by creating a compact stub program that effectively performs the same progression of steps as outlined above for the integrated version, but with two exceptions. First, the copy_to_JSBSim() and copy_from_JSBSim() functions are not used because the control inputs are handled directly by the scripting facilities and outputs are handled by the output (data logging) class. Second, the name of a script file can be supplied to the stub program. Scripting (see FGScript) provides a way to supply command inputs to the simulation:

FDMExec = new JSBSim::FGFDMExec();
FDMExec->LoadScript( ScriptName ); // the script loads the aircraft and ICs
result = FDMExec->Run();
while (result) { // cyclic execution
  result = FDMExec->Run(); // execute JSBSim
}

The standalone mode has been useful for verifying changes before committing updates to the source code repository. It is also useful for running sets of tests that reveal some aspects of simulated aircraft performance, such as range, time-to-climb, takeoff distance, etc.

JSBSim Debugging Directives

This describes to any interested entity the debug level requested by setting the JSBSIM_DEBUG environment variable. The bitmasked value choices are as follows:

• unset: In this case (the default) JSBSim would only print out the normally expected messages, essentially echoing the config files as they are read. If the environment variable is not set, debug_lvl is set to 1 internally
• 0: This requests JSBSim not to output any messages whatsoever
• 1: This value explicity requests the normal JSBSim startup messages
• 2: This value asks for a message to be printed out when a class is instantiated
• 4: When this value is set, a message is displayed when a FGModel object executes its Run() method
• 8: When this value is set, various runtime state variables are printed out periodically
• 16: When set various parameters are sanity checked and a message is printed out when they go out of bounds

Properties

• simulator/do_trim (write only) Can be set to the integer equivalent to one of tLongitudinal (0), tFull (1), tGround (2), tPullup (3), tCustom (4), tTurn (5). Setting this to a legal value (such as by a script) causes a trim to be performed. This property actually maps toa function call of DoTrim().

LoadScript()

bool LoadScript	(	const SGPath &	Script,
		double	deltaT = 0.0,
		const SGPath &	initfile = SGPath()
	)

Load a script.

Parameters

Script	The full path name and file name for the script to be loaded.
deltaT	The simulation integration step size, if given. If no value is supplied then 0.0 is used and the value is expected to be supplied in the script file itself.
initfile	The initialization file that will override the initialization file specified in the script file. If no file name is given on the command line, the file specified in the script will be used. If an initialization file is not given in either place, an error will result.

Returns

true if successfully loads; false otherwise.

ResetToInitialConditions()

void ResetToInitialConditions

(

int

mode

)

Resets the initial conditions object and prepares the simulation to run again.

If the mode's first bit is set the output instances will take special actions such as closing the current output file and open a new one with a different name. If the second bit is set then RunIC() won't be executed, leaving it to the caller to call RunIC(), e.g. in case the caller wants to set some other state like control surface deflections which would've been reset.

Parameters

mode	Sets the reset mode.

{ Output->SetRateHz(rate); }

SetOutputDirectives()

bool SetOutputDirectives ( const SGPath &  fname )

inline

Sets the output (logging) mechanism for this run.

Calling this function passes the name of an output directives file to the FGOutput object associated with this run. The call to this function should be made prior to loading an aircraft model. This call results in an FGOutput object being built as the first Output object in the FDMExec-managed list of Output objects that may be created for an aircraft model. If this call is made after an aircraft model is loaded, there is no effect. Any Output objects added by the aircraft model itself (in an <output> element) will be added after this one. Care should be taken not to refer to the same file name. An output directives file contains an <output> </output> element, within which should be specified the parameters or parameter groups that should be logged.

Parameters

fname

the filename of an output directives file.

Definition at line 447 of file FGFDMExec.h.

  { return Output->SetDirectivesFile(GetFullPath(fname)); }

SetOutputFileName()

bool SetOutputFileName ( const int  n, const std::string &  fname  )

inline

Sets (or overrides) the output filename.

Parameters

n	index of file
fname	the name of the file to output data to

Returns

true if successful, false if there is no output specified for the flight model

Definition at line 460 of file FGFDMExec.h.

{ return Output->SetOutputName(n, fname); }

SetOutputPath()

bool SetOutputPath ( const SGPath &  path )

inline

SetRootDir()

void SetRootDir ( const SGPath &  rootDir )

inline

Set the root directory that is used to obtain absolute paths from relative paths.

Aircraft, engine, systems and output paths are not updated by this method. You must call each methods (SetAircraftPath(), SetEnginePath(), etc.) individually if you need to update these paths as well.

Parameters

rootDir

the path to the root directory.
