Model.rundesignmethod

Model.rundesignmethod(entity, appendlogfile=0, columnLabels='', debugInfo=1, loadcaselist='', logfileInfo=1, tableInfo=0, targetentityCollection=Collection(), tableperloadcase=-1)

Run the design method for a given design point set. The design point set should contain a valid design point and design method.

This outputs a new table entity containing the output of the operation.

Parameters:

• entity (Entity) – The object describing the designpointset entity.

• appendlogfile (unsigned int) –

  The flag to append the Stress Tool log file if the method is run on multiple design point sets or elements.

  0 - Off (default)

  1 - On

• columnLabels (hwString) – The input column label.

• debugInfo (unsigned int) –

  0 - Do not create a table with input argument data

  1 - Create a table with input argument data (default)

• loadcaselist (hwString) – The IDs of the method loadcases.

• logfileInfo (unsigned int) –

  0 - Do not create a stress tool log file

  1 - Create a stress tool log file (default)

• tableInfo (unsigned int) –

  0 - Do not overwrite output table (default)

  1 - Overwrite output table

• targetentityCollection (Collection) – The collection containing the elements or designpointsets on which the method is run.

• tableperloadcase (int) –

  The flag to create Stress Tool method run output table.

  0 - Create single table per run

  1 - Create table per load case for user methods only

  2 - Create a HWASCII result file and import it to the HyperMesh session

Example

Run the design method for design point set ID 2

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.rundesignmethod(entity=ent.Designpointset(model,2))

Run the design method for design point set ID 2 for elements ID 250 , 251 , and 252

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.rundesignmethod(
    entity=ent.Designpointset(model,2),
    targetentityCollection=hm.Collection(model,ent.Element,[250, 251, 252])
)
