IsccDesignPoint

Wrapper for SAM Simulation Core model: cmod_iscc_design_point.cpp

Creating an Instance

There are three methods to create a new instance of a PySAM module. Using default populates the newclass’ attributes with default values specific to a config. Each technology-financialconfiguration corresponds to a SAM GUI configuration. Using new creates an instance with empty attributes. The wrap function allows compatibility with PySSC, for details, refer to PySSC.

IsccDesignPoint model description

IsccDesignPoint

PySAM.IsccDesignPoint.default(config) → IsccDesignPoint

Use financial config-specific default attributes

PySAM.IsccDesignPoint.from_existing(data, optional config) → IsccDesignPoint

Share underlying data with an existing PySAM class. If config provided, default attributes are loaded otherwise.

PySAM.IsccDesignPoint.new() → IsccDesignPoint
PySAM.IsccDesignPoint.wrap(ssc_data_t) → IsccDesignPoint

Use existing PySSC data

Warning

Do not call PySSC.data_free on the ssc_data_t provided to wrap

Functions

class PySAM.IsccDesignPoint.IsccDesignPoint

This class contains all the variable information for running a simulation. Variables are grouped together in the subclasses as properties. If property assignments are the wrong type, an error is thrown.

assign(dict) → None

Assign attributes from nested dictionary, except for Outputs

nested_dict = { 'Common': { var: val, ...}, ...}

execute(int verbosity) → None

Execute simulation with verbosity level 0 (default) or 1

export() → dict

Export attributes into nested dictionary

value(name, optional value) → Union[None, float, dict, sequence, str]

Get or set by name a value in any of the variable groups.

Common Group

class PySAM.IsccDesignPoint.IsccDesignPoint.Common
