create_sampling_point#

Model.create_sampling_point(*, name='SamplingPoint', point=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), direction=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), use_default_reference_direction=True, rosette=None, offset_is_middle=True, consider_coupling_effect=True)#

Instantiate a Sampling Point.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – Name of the sampling point.

  • point (tuple[float, float, float]) – Coordinates of the sampling point.

  • direction (tuple[float, float, float]) – Direction of the sampling point.

  • use_default_reference_direction (bool) – Whether to use the element coordinate system when computing the laminate properties (CLT).

  • rosette (Rosette | None) – Rosette defining the coordinate system used when computing the laminate properties (CLT). Only used when use_default_reference_direction is False.

  • offset_is_middle (bool) – Activate this option to offset the reference surface to the mid-plane of the laminate for the computation of the ABD matrices and laminate properties (CLT).

  • consider_coupling_effect (bool) – Whether the computation of the laminate engineering constants should consider the coupling effect if the B-Matrix of the ABD-Matrix is not zero. Computation of the ABD matrices is not affected by this parameter.

Return type:

SamplingPoint
