Model.compositeanalysis_byentity

Model.compositeanalysis_byentity(entity, result, output, ffunc=Entity(), loadid=EntityList(), loadcase=hwStringList(), theta=hwDoubleList())

Analyzes composite materials, plies, sequences, laminates, or elements.

Parameters:

• entity (Entity) – The object describing the entity to be analyzed. Valid entities are composite materials, plies, sequences, laminates, or elements.

• result (hwString) –

  The type of result. Valid values are:

  eng-const - For engineering constant analysis of material, ply, laminate, sequence, or element.

  load-response - For load response/first ply failure analysis of laminate, sequence, or element.

  strength - For strength analysis of laminate, sequence, or element.

• output (hwString) – Specifies where the analysis result is stored. If value begins with a double colon, the result will be stored in a variable. Otherwise, the parameter is considered as a file name.

• ffunc (Entity) – The design point method ID. Selected entity must have First_Ply_Failure defined as the method. Optional argument used in strength and FPF analysis.

• loadid (EntityList) – The list of load entities. Selected load entities must have “Composite plate” defined as the engineering type. Optional argument used in load response and FPF analysis.

• loadcase (hwStringList) – The list of strings identifying imported result, subcase, and simulation used as load. Optional argument used in load response and FPF analysis when analyzing elements.

• theta (hwDoubleList) – Optional argument to define the angle of analysis. Value can be given as a single number, or as range defined as list with a format [<from>, <to>, <step>]. Numbers can be given as integers or reals. (default=0)

Examples

Analyze material with ID 1

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.compositeanalysis_byentity(
    entity=ent.Material(model,1),
    result="eng-const",
    output="C:/temp/result.txt",
)

Analyze material with theta range

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.compositeanalysis_byentity(
    entity=ent.Material(model,1),
    result="eng-const",
    theta=[0.0,90.0,1.0],
    output="C:/temp/result.txt",
)
