Python Scripts

This section contains a collection of examples that demonstrate how to use YAPSS to solve optimal control problems using a Python script. All the examples are part of the YAPSS package examples module, and can be run from the command line or a Python console. For example, to run the dynamic soaring example, run the following command in the terminal:

python -m yapss.examples.dynamic_soaring

To run the example from a Python console, use the following commands:

>>> from yapss.examples import dynamic_soaring
>>> dynamic_soaring.main()

Most of the examples here are presented without much commentary. More detail for each example can be found in the corresponding JupyterLab notebook example in the JupyterLab Notebooks. section.
