Factory to create GEMSEO disciplines¶

class gemseo.problems.disciplines_factory.DisciplinesFactory[source]¶

Bases: object

The DisciplinesFactory is used to create MDODiscipline objects that are known to GEMSEO

Three types of directories are scanned to import the MDODiscipline classes:

the environment variable “GEMSEO_PATH” may contain the list of directories to scan,
the present directory (gemseo.problems) contains some benchmark test cases,

The constructor initializes the factory by scanning the directories to search for subclasses of MDODiscipline objects. Searches in “GEMSEO_PATH” and gemseo.problems.
