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).

Added in ACP server version 24.2.
