Class Hierarchy

• SatStress.GridCalc.Grid: A container class defining the temporal and geographic range and resolution of the calculation.
• object: The most base type
  • exceptions.BaseException: Common base class for all exceptions
    • exceptions.Exception: Common base class for all non-exit exceptions.
      • SatStress.SatStress.Error: Base class for errors within the SatStress module.
        • SatStress.SatStress.NameValueFileError: Base class for errors related to NAME=VALUE style input files.
          • SatStress.SatStress.NameValueFileDuplicateNameError: Indicates multiple copies of the same name in an input file.
          • SatStress.SatStress.NameValueFileParseError: Indicates a poorly formatted NAME=VALUE files.
        • SatStress.SatStress.SatelliteParamError: Indicates a problem with the Satellite initialization.
          • SatStress.SatStress.InvalidSatelliteParamError: Raised when a required parameter is not found in the input file.
            • SatStress.SatStress.ExcessiveSatelliteMassError: Raised if the satellite's parent planet is less than 10x as massive as the satellite.
            • SatStress.SatStress.GravitationallyUnstableSatelliteError: Raised if the density of layers is found not to decrease as you move toward the surface from the center of the satellite.
            • SatStress.SatStress.InvalidLoveNumberError: Raised if the Love numbers are found to be suspicious.
            • SatStress.SatStress.LargeEccentricityError: Raised when satellite orbital eccentricity is > 0.25
            • SatStress.SatStress.LoveExcessiveDeltaError: Raised when Δ > 10^9 for any of the ice layers, at which point the Love number code becomes unreliable.
            • SatStress.SatStress.LoveLayerNumberError: Raised if the number of layers specified in the satellite definition file is incompatible with the Love number code.
            • SatStress.SatStress.LowLayerDensityError: Indicates that a layer has been assigned an unrealistically low density.
            • SatStress.SatStress.LowLayerThicknessError: Indicates that a layer has been given too small of a thickness
            • SatStress.SatStress.NegativeLayerParamError: Indicates a layer has been given an unphysical material property.
            • SatStress.SatStress.NegativeNSRPeriodError: Raised if the satellite's NSR period is less than zero
            • SatStress.SatStress.NonNumberSatelliteParamError: Indicates that a non-numeric value was found for a numerical parameter.
          • SatStress.SatStress.MissingSatelliteParamError: Indicates a required parameter was not found in the input file.
  • SatStress.SatStress.LoveNum: A container class for the complex Love numbers: h2, k2, and l2.
  • SatStress.SatStress.SatLayer: An object describing a uniform material layer within a satellite.
  • SatStress.SatStress.Satellite: An object describing the physical structure and context of a satellite.
  • SatStress.SatStress.StressCalc: An object which calculates the stresses on the surface of a Satellite that result from one or more stress fields.
  • SatStress.SatStress.StressDef: A base class from which particular tidal stress field objects descend.
    • SatStress.SatStress.Diurnal: An object defining the stress field that arises on a satellite due to an eccentric orbit.
    • SatStress.SatStress.NSR: An object defining the stress field which arises from the non-synchronous rotation (NSR) of a satellite's icy shell.
