Python interface

The pypoem package that wraps poem is pypoem. It does not currently give acces to the whole C++ API but feature are progressively ported to Python.

Requirements

pypoem is tested with Python version >= 3.9.

Install from Pypi

pypoem is available on Pypi, so it can be installed as:

$ pip install pypoem

Install from sources

pypoem relies on scikit-build-core for the packaging. Source installation is realised by running the following command int the repository root directory:

$ pip install .

Basic usage

Here is a simple example of the creation of a MPPP Polar with one PolarTable and its writing to a netCDF file compliant with POEM file format thanks the of POEM library.

from pypoem import pypoem
import numpy as np

# Declaring three dimensions
STW = pypoem.make_dimension("STW", "kt", "Speed Through Water")
TWS = pypoem.make_dimension("TWS", "kt", "True Wind Speed")
TWA = pypoem.make_dimension("TWA", "deg", "True Wind Angle")

# Creating a DimensionSet
dimension_set = pypoem.make_dimension_set((STW, TWS, TWA))

# Creating a DImensionGrid and filling the dimensions with values
dimension_grid = pypoem.make_dimension_grid(dimension_set)
dimension_grid.set_values("STW", np.linspace(8, 20, 13))
dimension_grid.set_values("TWS", np.linspace(0, 40, 9))
dimension_grid.set_values("TWA", np.linspace(0, 180, 13))

# Creating a Polar of type MPPP (Motor only Power Prediction)
polar_MPPP = pypoem.make_polar("MPPP", pypoem.MPPP, dimension_grid)

# Creating a PolarTable from the MPPP Polar
BrakePower = polar_MPPP.create_polar_table_double("BrakePower", "kW", "Brake Power", 
                                                  pypoem.POEM_DOUBLE)

# Generating a dummy NDArray with ones and the same shape as the DimensionGrid
# Note that NDArrays must be arranged in a row major order with respect the DimensionSet
# of the DimensionGrid. If you think in terms of nested for loop with Dimensions, 
# the last Dimension (here TWA) is moving fastest (most inner loop).
brake_power_data = np.ones(dimension_grid.shape())

# Setting the BrakePower PolarTable with the array
BrakePower.set_values(brake_power_data)
assert(np.all(brake_power_data == BrakePower.array()))

# Writing to netCDF
pypoem.to_netcdf(polar_MPPP, "polar_basic.nc")

Current limitations

POEM has been primarily developed under Linux OS. Port to other platforms is expected to come in the future but is not a current top priority. Contributors for a Windows port are welcome :)
