CutoffSelectionRule#

class ansys.acp.core.CutoffSelectionRule(*, name='CutoffSelectionrule', cutoff_rule_type='geometry', cutoff_geometry=None, taper_edge_set=None, offset=0.0, angle=0.0, ply_cutoff_type='production_ply_cutoff', ply_tapering=False)#

Instantiate a Cutoff Selection Rule.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the Cutoff Selection Rule.
cutoff_rule_type (CutoffRuleType) – Determines if the cut-off is defined by a geometry or by a tapering edge.
cutoff_geometry (VirtualGeometry | None) – Geometry used to define the cut-off. Only applies if cutoff_rule_type is GEOMETRY.
taper_edge_set (EdgeSet | None) – Edge used to define the cut-off. Only applies if cutoff_rule_type is CutoffRuleType.TAPER.
offset (float) – Moves the cutting plane along the out-of-plane direction. Always measured from the reference surface.
angle (float) – Defines the angle between the cutting plane and the reference surface.
ply_cutoff_type (PlyCutoffType) – Either the complete production ply is cut-off (PlyCutoffType.PRODUCTION_PLY_CUTOFF) or individual analysis plies (PlyCutoffType.ANALYSIS_PLY_CUTOFF).
ply_tapering (bool) – Whether the tapering of analysis plies is enabled.

Added in ACP server version 24.2.
