create_butt_joint_sequence#

ModelingGroup.create_butt_joint_sequence(*, name='ButtJointSequence', active=True, global_ply_nr=0, primary_plies=(), secondary_plies=(), definition_type=None, starting_modeling_plies=())#

Instantiate a ButtJointSequence.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – Name of the butt joint sequence.

  • primary_plies (Sequence[PrimaryPly]) – Primary plies are the source of a butt joint and they pass the thickness to adjacent plies. Plies with a higher level inherit the thickness from those with a lower level.

  • secondary_plies (Sequence[ModelingGroup | ModelingPly]) – Secondary plies are butt-joined to adjacent primary plies and they inherit the thickness.

  • definition_type (Any | None) – Specifies how the butt-joint plies are defined. Either manually or automatically. If set to one of the automatic modes, the algorithm searches for plies of the selected type that butt-join the given ply. When None is passed, manual definition is used, which matches the behavior of ACP 26.1 and earlier. This default will change to "automatic_all_ply_types" in a future release.

  • starting_modeling_plies (Sequence[ModelingPly]) – The automatic detection will search for plies which butt-join with the selected modeling plies.

Return type:

ButtJointSequence

Added in ACP server version 25.1.
