Philote-Python

Capabilities

Built for Multidisciplinary Workflows

STANDARD

Philote-MDO Protocol

Reference Python implementation of the Philote-MDO gRPC standard. Compatible with disciplines written in any supported language.

DISCIPLINES

Explicit & Implicit

First-class support for both explicit components and residual-based implicit disciplines, with analytic partial derivatives.

INTEROP

OpenMDAO Bindings

Drop-in RemoteExplicitComponent and RemoteImplicitComponent for OpenMDAO models, plus a wrapper to host OpenMDAO groups as Philote servers.

DISTRIBUTED

Network Native

Run expensive analyses on dedicated servers and call them from anywhere over gRPC. Same code, local or remote.

Define a Discipline

paraboloid.py

import philote_mdo.general as pmdo

class Paraboloid(pmdo.ExplicitDiscipline):
    def setup(self):
        self.add_input("x", shape=(1,), units="m")
        self.add_input("y", shape=(1,), units="m")
        self.add_output("f_xy", shape=(1,), units="m**2")

    def compute(self, inputs, outputs):
        x, y = inputs["x"], inputs["y"]
        outputs["f_xy"] = (x - 3)**2 + x*y + (y + 4)**2 - 3
