Model.create_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.
