Model.beamsectioncreatestandardsolver

Model.beamsectioncreatestandardsolver(type, solver, type_name, orient)

Creates a standard solver-specific section. For a list of values that are supported by each solver, see the topics in the See Also section.

Parameters:

• type (int) – Integer indicating the type of section to create. Each solver has a number of available sections.

• solver (int) –

  Integer indicating the solver the section is being created for. Valid values are:

  0 - HyperBeam

  1 - OptiStruct/Nastran

  2 - Abaqus

  8 - ANSYS

  9 - LS-DYNA

  21 - Permas

• type_name (hwString) – Name indicating the type of section to create. Each type can have multiple available section names.

• orient (int) –

  Flag indicating the orientation of the section:

  0 - 0 degrees

  1 - 90 degrees

  2 - 180 degrees

  3 - 270 degrees

Examples

Create a standard HyperBeam T-section having a 0 degree orientation

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.beamsectioncreatestandardsolver(
    type=1,
    solver=12,
    type_name="I",
    orient=0
)

Create a standard OptiStruct T-section having a 0 degree orientation

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.beamsectioncreatestandardsolver(
    type=15,
    solver=0,
    type_name="HMTSec",
    orient=0
)
