Instantiate an Oriented Selection Set.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the Oriented Selection Set.
element_sets (Sequence[ElementSet]) – Element Sets on which the Oriented Selection Set is defined.
orientation_point (tuple[float, float, float]) – The Orientation Point of the Oriented Selection Set.
orientation_direction (tuple[float, float, float]) – The Orientation Direction of the Oriented Element set.
rosettes (Sequence[Rosette]) – Rosettes of the Oriented Selection Set.
rosette_selection_method (RosetteSelectionMethod) – Selection Method for Rosettes of the Oriented Selection Set.
selection_rules (Sequence[ParallelSelectionRule | CylindricalSelectionRule | SphericalSelectionRule | TubeSelectionRule | GeometricalSelectionRule | VariableOffsetSelectionRule | BooleanSelectionRule]) – Selection Rules which may limit the extent of the Oriented Selection Set.
draping (bool) – If True, activate draping to adjust the reference directions.
draping_seed_point (tuple[float, float, float]) – Starting point of the draping algorithm.
auto_draping_direction (bool) – If True, the reference direction of the Oriented Selection Set at the seed point is used as draping direction.
draping_direction (tuple[float, float, float]) – Set the primary draping direction for the draping algorithm. Only used if auto_draping_direction is False.
draping_mesh_size (float) – Defines the mesh size for the draping algorithm. If set to -1., the mesh size is automatically determined based on the average element size.
draping_material_model (DrapingMaterialModel) – Chooses between different draping formulations.
draping_ud_coefficient (float) – Value between 0 and 1 which determines the amount of deformation in the transverse direction if the draping material model is set to DrapingMaterialModel.UD.
rotation_angle (float) – Angle in degrees by which the initial reference directions are rotated around the orientations.
reference_direction_field (LookUpTable1DColumn | LookUpTable3DColumn | None) – A 3D lookup table column that defines the reference directions.

Added in ACP server version 24.2.
