The pyCycle project implements 1D thermodynamic cycle analysis equations similar to the NPSS code and has been validated against this tool. While the thermodynamic equations are similar to NPSS and other available cycle analysis tools, pyCycle is focused on applying advanced methods for supporting gradient-based optimization through the implementation of analytic derivatives. This feature enables efficient exploration of large design spaces when pyCycle is coupled with other disciplinary analysis tools.
