getAnalysisLCS_FromNode

Overview

This utility is used to get coordinate ID and name that assigned to the node.

Syntax

CoordinateID,CoordinateName=simlab.getAnalysisLCS_FromNode("modelName",NodeID)

User Case

Below are some of the use case where getAnalysisLCS_FromNode will be useful to make the script generic.

• To identify local coordinate ID for applying any loads and boundary conditions.
• To create a local coordinate system based on another local coordinate systems.
• To transform a local coordinate system.
• To get local coordinate system ID and to perform Bore Distortion calculation on particular bore.

Utility Input/output

Why we need this utility?

If imported deck has Analysis LCS assigned to few nodes. The LCS ID assigned to that node can be extracted by using this utility. Extracted LCS ID can be used in few operations that takes LCS ID as input.
