Instantiate a layup mapping object.

Parameters:

name (str) – Name of the layup mapping object.
active (bool) – Inactive layup mapping objects are not used.
element_technology (ElementTechnology) – Determines the element technology used for the layup mapping. Can be either "layered_element" or "reinforcing". Note that only brick and prism elements support the layered option, while reinforcing technology can be combined with all types of solid elements.
shell_element_sets (Sequence[ElementSet]) – Defines the shell area whose modeling plies are mapped onto the solid mesh. Used only if use_imported_plies is False.
use_imported_plies (bool) – If True, imported modeling plies are mapped onto the solid mesh.
select_all_plies (bool) –
Determines whether all plies are selected for mapping, or only the ones specified in the sequences parameter.
- If use_imported_plies is False and select_all_plies is True, all plies in the selected shell area are selected.
- If use_imported_plies is True and select_all_plies is True, all imported modeling plies are selected.
sequences (Sequence[ModelingGroup | ModelingPly | ImportedModelingGroup | ImportedModelingPly]) –
Determines which plies are considered for mapping. The intersection of shell elements and plies are then mapped onto the solid mesh.
- If use_imported_plies is False, modeling groups and modeling plies are allowed
- If use_imported_plies is True, imported modeling groups and imported modeling plies are allowed
entire_solid_mesh (bool) – If True, the selected layup is mapped onto the entire solid mesh. Otherwise, the solid_element_sets parameter is used to refine the scope.
solid_element_sets (Sequence[SolidElementSet]) – List of solid element sets to which the mapping is applied.
scale_ply_thicknesses (bool) – If True, scale the layer thickness to fill the gaps within an element, instead of filling them with the void material. Used only if element_technology is "layered_element".
void_material (Material | None) – Material used to fill the gaps with. Only used if scale_ply_thicknesses is False, and the element_technology is "layered_element".
minimum_void_material_thickness (float) – Only gaps with a thickness greater than this value are filled with the void material. Only used if scale_ply_thicknesses is False, and the element_technology is "layered_element".
delete_lost_elements (bool) – If True, elements without layup and degenerated elements are deleted. Otherwise, they are filled with the filler material. Used only if element_technology is "layered_element".
filler_material (Material | None) – Material used to fill the degenerated elements. Only used if delete_lost_elements is False, and the element_technology is "layered_element".
rosettes (Sequence[Rosette]) – List of rosettes to set the coordinate system of the filler elements. Used only if element_technology is "layered_element".
rosette_selection_method (LayupMappingRosetteSelectionMethod) – Defines how the coordinate systems are applied for the filler elements. Used only if element_technology is "layered_element".
reinforcing_behavior (ReinforcingBehavior) – Determines whether the reinforcing elements carry tension and / or compression loads. Used only if element_technology is "reinforcing".
base_element_material_handling (BaseElementMaterialHandling) – Determines how the base material is handled in the area with reinforcing elements. Can be either "remove" or "retain". Used only if element_technology is "reinforcing".
stress_state (StressStateType) – Specifies the stress state of the reinforcing elements. Used only if element_technology is "reinforcing".
base_material (Material | None) – Define the initial material of the solid elements which will be reinforced by the selected plies. Used only if element_technology is "reinforcing".
base_element_rosettes (Sequence[Rosette]) – List of rosettes to set the coordinate system of the base elements. This is important if the base material has an orthotropic characteristic. Used only if element_technology is "reinforcing".
base_element_rosette_selection_method (LayupMappingRosetteSelectionMethod) – Defines how the coordinate systems are applied for the base elements. Used only if element_technology is "reinforcing".

Added in ACP server version 25.1.
