compute(inputs, outputs)[source]

Compute outputs given inputs. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

An inherited component may choose to either override this function or to define a compute_primal function.

Parameters:

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].

  • discrete_inputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete input values.

  • discrete_outputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete output values.
