TaperEdge

class ansys.acp.core.TaperEdge(edge_set, *, angle, offset)

Defines a taper edge.

Parameters:

• edge_set (EdgeSet) – Defines the edge along which the ply tapering is applied.

• angle (float) – Defines the angle between the cutting plane and the reference surface.

• offset (float) – Moves the cutting plane along the out-of-plane direction. A negative value cuts the elements at the edge where the in-plane offset is -offset/tan(angle).

Methods

Attributes

TaperEdge.angle	Angle between the cutting plane and the reference surface.
TaperEdge.edge_set	Edge along which the ply tapering is applied.
TaperEdge.offset	Move the cutting plane along the out-of-plane direction.
