Off Design Improvements And Renaming Of Design Vs Summary Mission Variables
Desired Capability or Behavior
The off design mission analysis currently instantiates a whole new aviary problem object and re-runs the entirety of the pre-mission block. This is not really necessary (particularly for subsystem masses) which are not expected to change from the initial design mission. Since all these parameters are recalculated the aircraft is basically being re-designed (although if everything is correct it re-designs to be identical to the sizing aircraft). We might want to refactor the code to avoid these extra calculations.
The Current State of Off Design Mission Analysis
The current implementation of off design mission analysis involves creating a new aviary problem object and re-running the entire pre-mission block. This approach is not only computationally expensive but also unnecessary, especially for subsystem masses that do not change from the initial design mission. As a result, the aircraft is essentially being re-designed, which can be avoided by refactoring the code to minimize extra calculations.
Benefits of Refactoring Off Design Mission Analysis
Refactoring the off design mission analysis to avoid unnecessary calculations can lead to several benefits, including:
- Improved computational efficiency: By minimizing extra calculations, the code can run faster and more efficiently, reducing the overall computational time.
- Simplified code: Refactoring the code can make it easier to understand and maintain, reducing the risk of errors and improving code quality.
- Enhanced user experience: By providing a more efficient and streamlined experience, users can focus on their design tasks without being hindered by unnecessary calculations.
Multi-Mission Architecture Alignment
In addition to refactoring the off design mission analysis, we should also consider aligning it with the multi-mission architecture. There is some similarity in output between the two, which can be leveraged to improve the overall design process.
Benefits of Aligning Off Design with Multi-Mission Architecture
Aligning off design with the multi-mission architecture can lead to several benefits, including:
- Improved design consistency: By aligning off design with the multi-mission architecture, we can ensure that the design process is consistent and follows a standardized approach.
- Enhanced user experience: Users can benefit from a more streamlined and efficient design process, which can improve their overall experience.
- Increased design accuracy: By leveraging the similarities between off design and multi-mission architecture, we can improve the accuracy of the design process.
Renaming Design vs Summary Mission Variables
In addition to refactoring the off design mission analysis and aligning it with the multi-mission architecture, we should also consider renaming the design vs summary mission variables. The current naming convention is not always consistent, which can lead to confusion and errors.
The Current State of Design vs Summary Mission Variables
The current naming convention for design vs summary mission variables is not always consistent, which can lead to confusion and errors. For example, some variables have a 'summary' version, while others do not. Additionally, some variables are named differently between design and summary, which can make it difficult to use the same code to interrogate both a sizing and off design problem object.
Benefits of Renaming Design vs Summary Mission Variables
Renaming the design vs summary mission variables can lead to several benefits, including:
- Improved code consistency: By standardizing the naming convention, we can improve code consistency and reduce the risk of errors.
- Enhanced user experience: Users can benefit from a more intuitive and user-friendly design process, which can improve their overall experience.
- Increased design accuracy: By standardizing the naming convention, we can improve the accuracy of the design process.
Proposed Renaming of Design vs Summary Mission Variables
Based on the current naming convention, we propose renaming the design vs summary mission variables as follows:
- Design mission variables:
mission.design - Summary mission variables:
mission.as-flownormission.mission1,2,3(open to other suggestions)
Benefits of Proposed Renaming
The proposed renaming of design vs summary mission variables can lead to several benefits, including:

- Increased design accuracy: By standardizing the naming convention, we can improve the accuracy of the design process.
