Model.exportuserdefinedshapes(header, keyword, delimiter1, delimiter1_value, nodeid_width, delimiter2, delimiter2_value, x_coord_width, x_coord_precision, y_coord_width, y_coord_precision, z_coord_width, z_coord_precision, delimiter3, delimiter3_value, outputfile)

Exports shape design variables, shapes and nodal information in user-defined format for HyperStudy or Templex analysis codes.

Parameters:

• header (hwString) – Header information for the node block.

• keyword (hwString) – Keyword for a node.

• delimiter1 (hwString) –

  The delimiter type between keyword and the node ID. Valid values are:

  Delimiter - Use for delimiters such as slash, comma, etc.

  Whitespace - Use for spaces.

• delimiter1_value (hwString) –

  If deliminter1 is Delimiter, this is the character to use as the delimiter.

  If delimiter1 is Whitespace, this is the number of spaces.

• nodeid_width (int) – Width of the node ID field.

• delimiter2 (hwString) –

  The delimiter type between the node ID and the x-coordinate. Valid values are:

  Delimiter - Use for delimiters such as slash, comma, etc.

  Whitespace - Use for spaces.

• delimiter2_value (hwString) –

  If deliminter2 is Delimiter, this is the character to use as the delimiter.

  If delimiter2 is Whitespace, this is the number of spaces.

• x_coord_width (int) – Field width for output of the x-coordinate.

• x_coord_precision (int) – Field precision for output of the x-coordinate.

• y_coord_width (int) – Field width for output of the y-coordinate.

• y_coord_precision (int) – Field precision for output of the y-coordinate.

• z_coord_width (int) – Field width for output of the z-coordinate.

• z_coord_precision (int) – Field precision for output of the z-coordinate.

• delimiter3 (hwString) –

  The delimiter type between the x-y and y-z coordinates. Valid values are:

  Delimiter - Use for delimiters such as slash, comma, etc.

  Whitespace - Use for spaces.

• delimiter3_value (hwString) –

  If deliminter3 is Delimiter, this is the character to use as the delimiter.

  If delimiter3 is Whitespace, this is the number of spaces.

• outputfile (hwString) – Name of the output file.

Example

Output nodal coordinates in the following format to the shape.dat file :

'''
COORDINATES
NODE  /     8844, 5.0000000e+001  6.0000000e+001  5.0000000e+001
...
'''
