Getting Started

Currently, the workflow in AEIC is limited to a modeling process based on the MATLAB implementation, but more functionality will be added over time. We outline the basics of setup here.

Installation

AEIC is not currently available on PyPI. As such, the current best method for simple usage is identical to the local development setup detailed below.

Local Development

If you intend to develop the source code of AEIC, you should create a fork, clone the fork locally, and install AEIC in development mode. For example:

1. Fork the main git repository

2. Clone the forked repository locally

   git clone git@github.com:{YourName}/AEIC.git
   

3. In your Python environment, install in development mode

   cd AEIC
   pip install --editable .
   

You should now be able to import AEIC as you would with any standard library.

Units and Non-Dimensionals

AEIC works in SI units. The only exception is the pressure altitude, which has both SI and imperial flight level representations. All non-dimensional quantities are treated internally as SI.
