LinkedSelectionRule#

class ansys.acp.core.LinkedSelectionRule(selection_rule, *, operation_type='intersect', template_rule=False, parameter_1=0.0, parameter_2=0.0)#

Defines selection rules linked to a Boolean Selection Rule or Modeling Ply.

Parameters:

selection_rule (BooleanSelectionRule | CutoffSelectionRule | CylindricalSelectionRule | GeometricalSelectionRule | ParallelSelectionRule | SphericalSelectionRule | TubeSelectionRule | VariableOffsetSelectionRule) – Link to an existing selection rule.
operation_type (BooleanOperationType) – Determines how the selection rule is combined with other selection rules.
template_rule (bool) – If True, the selection rule is a template rule. This means the parameter values are taken from the parameter_1 and parameter_2 attributes, not from the linked selection rule.
parameter_1 (float) – First parameter value of the selection rule. Only applies if template_rule is True.
parameter_2 (float) – Second parameter value of the selection rule. Only applies if template_rule is True.

The parameter_1 and parameter_2 attributes determine the values of the following parameters, depending on the type of selection rule:

Rule Type	`parameter_1`	`parameter_2`
`ParallelSelectionRule`	`lower_limit`	`upper_limit`
`CylindricalSelectionRule`	`radius`	-
`SphericalSelectionRule`	`radius`	-
`TubeSelectionRule`	`outer_radius`	`inner_radius`
`GeometricalSelectionRule`	`in_plane_capture_tolerance`	-
`VariableOffsetSelectionRule`	-	-
`BooleanSelectionRule`	-	-

Note that CutoffSelectionRule and BooleanSelectionRule objects cannot be linked to a Boolean Selection Rule, only to a Modeling Ply..

Added in ACP server version 24.2.
