Instantiate an Imported Modeling Ply.
- Parameters:
name (str) – The name of the Modeling Ply
active (bool) – Inactive plies are ignored in ACP and the downstream analysis.
offset_type (ImportedPlyOffsetType) – Defines the location of the mesh (plane) with respect to the laminate. One of
BOTTOM_OFFSET,MIDDLE_OFFSET, andTOP_OFFSET.mesh_import_type (MeshImportType) – Source of the imported mesh. Either from geometry or from hdf5.
mesh_geometry (VirtualGeometry | None) – Link to the geometry with represents the ply surface. Only used if
mesh_import_typeisFROM_GEOMETRY.rosette_selection_method (RosetteSelectionMethod) – Selection Method for Rosettes of the Oriented Selection Set.
rosettes (Sequence[Rosette]) – Rosettes of the Oriented Selection Set.
reference_direction_field (LookUpTable3DColumn | LookUpTable1DColumn | None) – A 3D lookup table column that defines the reference directions.
rotation_angle (float) – Angle in degrees by which the initial reference directions are rotated around the orientations.
ply_material (Fabric | None) – The material (only fabric is supported) of the ply.
ply_angle (float) – Design angle between the reference direction and the ply fiber direction.
draping_type (ImportedPlyDrapingType) – Chooses between different draping formulations.
NO_DRAPINGby default.draping_angle_1_field (LookUpTable1DColumn | LookUpTable3DColumn | None) – Correction angle between the fiber and draped fiber directions, in degree.
draping_angle_2_field (LookUpTable1DColumn | LookUpTable3DColumn | None) – Correction angle between the transverse and draped transverse directions, in degree. Optional, uses the same values as
draping_angle_1_field(no shear) by default.thickness_type (ImportedPlyThicknessType) – Choose
ThicknessType.FROM_TABLEto define a ply with variable thickness. The default value isThicknessType.NOMINAL, which means the ply thickness is constant and determined by the thickness of the ply material.thickness_field (LookUpTable1DColumn | LookUpTable3DColumn | None) – Defines the look-up table column used to determine the ply thickness. Only applies if
thickness_typeisThicknessType.FROM_TABLE.thickness_field_type (ThicknessFieldType) – If
thickness_typeisThicknessType.FROM_TABLE, this parameter determines how the thickness values are interpreted. They can be either absolute values (ThicknessFieldType.ABSOLUTE_VALUES) or relative values (ThicknessFieldType.RELATIVE_SCALING_FACTOR).
Added in ACP server version 25.1.
