Model.modent_addrepresentations

Model.modent_addrepresentations(entity, representation_key, representation_file, representation_file_format)

Adds representation information to a modular entity.

Parameters:

• entity (Entity) – The object describing the modular entity to add representation information to. Valid entities are subsystems.

• representation_key (hwString) – Key of the representation to add, which is unique per subsystem.

• representation_file (hwString) – Full path and file name of the representation.

• representation_file_format (hwString) – The representation file format. Valid values are HyperMesh, Nastran, OptiStruct, LS-DYNA, Radioss Block, PAM-CRASH 2G, and Abaqus.

Example

Add a representation with key “crash5” , file “C:/representations/Subsystem1_Crash5mm.k”, and format LS-DYNA to subsystem with ID 3

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.modent_addrepresentations(
    entity=ent.Subsystem(model, 3),
    representation_key="crash5",
    representation_file="C:/representations/Subsystem1_Crash5mm.k",
    representation_file_format="Ls-Dyna",
)
