class ansys.acp.core.Fabric(*, name='Fabric', material=None, thickness=0.0, area_price=0.0, ignore_for_postprocessing=False, drop_off_material_handling='global', drop_off_material=None, cut_off_material_handling='computed', cut_off_material=None, draping_material_model='woven', draping_ud_coefficient=0.0)#

Instantiate a Fabric.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the fabric.
material (Material | None) – Material of the fabric.
thickness (float) – Thickness of the fabric.
area_price (float) – Price per area of the fabric.
ignore_for_postprocessing (bool) – Enable this option that the failure computation skips all plies made of this fabric.
drop_off_material_handling (DropoffMaterialHandling) – Defines the material of drop-off elements in the solid model extrusion.
drop_off_material (Material | None) – Specify the material of drop-off elements in the solid model.
cut_off_material_handling (CutoffMaterialHandling) – Defines the material of cut-off elements in solid models if cut-off geometries are active.
cut_off_material (Material | None) – Define the cut-off material if a ply with this material is shaped by a cut-off geometry.
draping_material_model (DrapingMaterialModel) – Specifies the draping model of the fabric.
draping_ud_coefficient (float) – Set the draping coefficient of the uni-directional draping model. Must be in the range of 0 to 1.
area_weight – Weight per area of the fabric. Read only.

Added in ACP server version 24.2.
