Print model tree#

A tree structure gives an overview of an ACP model. To print a model’s tree structure, start with a Model instance:

>>> model
<Model with name 'ACP Model'>

You can print the tree structure using the print_model() function:

>>> pyacp.print_model(model, show_lines=True)
'ACP Model'
├── Materials
│   └── 'Structural Steel'
├── Fabrics
│   └── 'Fabric.1'
├── Element Sets
│   └── 'All_Elements'
├── Edge Sets
│   └── 'ns_edge'
├── Rosettes
│   └── 'Global Coordinate System'
├── Oriented Selection Sets
│   └── 'OrientedSelectionSet.1'
└── Modeling Groups
    └── 'ModelingGroup.1'
        └── Modeling Plies
            └── 'ModelingPly.1'
                └── Production Plies
                    └── 'P1__ModelingPly.1'
                        └── Analysis Plies
                            └── 'P1L1__ModelingPly.1'

Alternatively, you can use get_model_tree() to get a tree representation. This allows manually iterating over the tree structure:

>>> tree_root = pyacp.get_model_tree(model)
>>> tree_root.label
"'ACP Model'"
>>> for child in tree_root.children:
...     print(child.label)
...

Fabrics
Element Sets
Edge Sets
Rosettes
Oriented Selection Sets
Modeling Groups

The hide_empty label can be set to False to also show empty groups:

>>> pyacp.print_model(model, hide_empty=False, show_lines=True)
