Print model tree#

A tree structure gives an overview of an ACP model. To print a model’s tree structure, start with a Model instance:

>>> model
<Model with name 'ACP Model'>

You can print the tree structure using the print_model() function:

>>> pyacp.print_model(model)
'ACP Model'
    Materials
        'Structural Steel'
    Fabrics
        'Fabric.1'
    Element Sets
        'All_Elements'
    Edge Sets
        'ns_edge'
    Rosettes
        'Global Coordinate System'
    Oriented Selection Sets
        'OrientedSelectionSet.1'
    Modeling Groups
        'ModelingGroup.1'
            Modeling Plies
                'ModelingPly.1'
                    Production Plies
                        'P1__ModelingPly.1'
                            Analysis Plies
                                'P1L1__ModelingPly.1'

Alternatively, you can use get_model_tree() to get a tree representation. This allows manually iterating over the tree structure:

>>> tree_root = pyacp.get_model_tree(model)
>>> tree_root.label
"'ACP Model'"
>>> for child in tree_root.children:
...     print(child.label)
...

The hide_empty label can be set to False to also show empty groups:

>>> pyacp.print_model(model, hide_empty=False)
'ACP Model'
