base_formulation module

The base class for all formulations.

class gemseo.core.base_formulation.BaseFormulation(disciplines, objective_name, design_space, maximize_objective=False, grammar_type='JSONGrammar', **options)[source]

Bases: object

Abstract MDO formulation class to be extended in subclasses for use.

This class creates the objective function and constraints from the disciplines. It defines the process implicitly.

By default,

  • the objective function is minimized,

  • the type of a constraint is equality,

  • the activation value of a constraint is 0.

The link between the instances of MDODiscipline, the name of the objective function and the names of the constraints is made with the MDOFunctionGenerator, which generates instances of MDOFunction from the disciplines.

Parameters
  • disciplines (Sequence[MDODiscipline]) – The disciplines.

  • objective_name (str | Sequence[str]) – The name of the objective function. If a sequence is passed, a vector objective function is created.

  • design_space (DesignSpace) – The design space.

  • maximize_objective (bool) –

    If True, the objective function is maximized.

    By default it is set to False.

  • grammar_type (str) –

    The type of the input and output grammars, either MDODiscipline.JSON_GRAMMAR_TYPE or MDODiscipline.SIMPLE_GRAMMAR_TYPE.

    By default it is set to JSONGrammar.

  • **options (Any) – The options of the formulation.

Return type

None

add_constraint(output_name, constraint_type='eq', constraint_name=None, value=None, positive=False)[source]

Add a user constraint.

A user constraint is a design constraint in addition to the formulation specific constraints such as the targets (a.k.a. consistency constraints) in IDF.

The strategy of repartition of constraints is defined in the formulation class.

Parameters
  • output_name (str) – The name of the output to be used as a constraint. For instance, if g_1 is given and constraint_type=”eq”, g_1=0 will be added as a constraint to the optimizer.

  • constraint_type (str) –

    The type of constraint, either “eq” for equality constraint or “ineq” for inequality constraint.

    By default it is set to eq.

  • constraint_name (str | None) –

    The name of the constraint to be stored, If None, the name is generated from the output name.

    By default it is set to None.

  • value (float | None) –

    The value of activation of the constraint. If None, the value is equal to 0.

    By default it is set to None.

  • positive (bool) –

    If True, the inequality constraint is positive.

    By default it is set to False.

Return type

None

add_observable(output_names, observable_name=None, discipline=None)[source]

Add an observable to the optimization problem.

The repartition strategy of the observable is defined in the formulation class.

Parameters
  • output_names (str | Sequence[str]) – The name(s) of the output(s) to observe.

  • observable_name (str | None) –

    The name of the observable.

    By default it is set to None.

  • discipline (MDODiscipline | None) –

    The discipline computing the observed outputs. If None, the discipline is detected from inner disciplines.

    By default it is set to None.

Return type

None

classmethod get_default_sub_options_values(**options)[source]

Get the default values of the sub-options of the formulation.

When some options of the formulation depend on higher level options, the default values of these sub-options may be obtained here, mainly for use in the API.

Parameters

**options (str) – The options required to deduce the sub-options grammar.

Returns

Either None or the sub-options default values.

Return type

dict

get_expected_dataflow()[source]

Get the expected data exchange sequence.

This method is used for the XDSM representation and can be overloaded by subclasses.

Returns

The expected sequence of data exchange where the i-th item is described by the starting discipline, the ending discipline and the coupling variables.

Return type

list[tuple[gemseo.core.discipline.MDODiscipline, gemseo.core.discipline.MDODiscipline, list[str]]]

get_expected_workflow()[source]

Get the expected sequence of execution of the disciplines.

This method is used for the XDSM representation and can be overloaded by subclasses.

For instance:

  • [A, B] denotes the execution of A, then the execution of B

  • (A, B) denotes the concurrent execution of A and B

  • [A, (B, C), D] denotes the execution of A, then the concurrent execution of B and C, then the execution of D.

Returns

A sequence of elements which are either an ExecutionSequence or a tuple of ExecutionSequence for concurrent execution.

Return type

list[gemseo.core.execution_sequence.ExecutionSequence, tuple[gemseo.core.execution_sequence.ExecutionSequence]]

get_optim_variables_names()[source]

Get the optimization unknown names to be provided to the optimizer.

This is different from the design variable names provided by the user, since it depends on the formulation, and can include target values for coupling for instance in IDF.

Returns

The optimization variable names.

Return type

list[str]

get_sub_disciplines()[source]

Accessor to the sub-disciplines.

This method lists the sub scenarios’ disciplines.

Returns

The sub-disciplines.

Return type

list[gemseo.core.discipline.MDODiscipline]

classmethod get_sub_options_grammar(**options)[source]

Get the sub-options grammar.

When some options of the formulation depend on higher level options, the schema of the sub-options may be obtained here, mainly for use in the API.

Parameters

**options (str) – The options required to deduce the sub-options grammar.

Returns

Either None or the sub-options grammar.

Return type

gemseo.core.grammars.json_grammar.JSONGrammar

get_sub_scenarios()[source]

List the disciplines that are actually scenarios.

Returns

The scenarios.

Return type

list[Scenario]

get_top_level_disc()[source]

Return the disciplines which inputs are required to run the scenario.

A formulation seeks to evaluate objective function and constraints from inputs. It structures the optimization problem into multiple levels of disciplines. The disciplines directly depending on these inputs are called top level disciplines.

By default, this method returns all disciplines. This method can be overloaded by subclasses.

Returns

The top level disciplines.

Return type

list[gemseo.core.discipline.MDODiscipline]

get_x_mask_x_swap_order(masking_data_names, all_data_names=None)[source]
