MbdPlots (hwx.inspire.motion.MbdPlots)

class MbdPlots(analysis=None)

Bases: object

Plot definitions created by objects in MbdModel.py Used by the PlotManager

Method Table

Name	Description
connector (self, **kwds)
delete (self)
displacement (self, **kwds)
flexPart (self)
force (self, **kwds)
getComponent (self, name)
getPlotForObject (self, obj, index=None)	Return the last plot displayed for the specified object
getPlots (self, obj=None)	Return a list of plots for the specified object or
implicitJoint (self, requestPrefix)
part (self)
partAngularDisplacement (self, **kwds)
populate (self)
setPlotForObject (self, obj, plot)	What plot should be displayed next time the Popout/Callout.plot is called?
signal (self)	A special container for output signals is created.
torque (self, **kwds)
velocity (self, **kwds)

Example

from hwx import inspire
from hwx.inspire import motion

model = inspire.openTutorialFile("Motion/M01_FourBar.stmod")
spring = model.getChild('Coil Spring 1')

analysis = motion.MbdAnalysis()
analysis.analyze()

plots = motion.MbdPlots().getPlots(spring)
plot = plots[0].plot()
show(plot)

getPlots(obj=None)

Return a list of plots for the specified object or a dict of plots keyed to the plottable Inspire objects

getPlotForObject(obj, index=None)

Return the last plot displayed for the specified object

For example: If the user selects a Part to plot, using the ContextMenu replaces the plot with the Parts velocity plot, next time he picks a Part to plot, he gets that Part velocity plot

setPlotForObject(obj, plot)

What plot should be displayed next time the Popout/Callout.plot is called?

signal()

A special container for output signals is created. Note that for some entities (e.g. Joint) there is already a menuContainer defined to store the multiple results from a single inspire object (Pin that yields 2 mbd joints)
