Parameters:

name (str) – A String specifying the repository key.
type (SymbolicConstant) – A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of path being created. Possible values are NODE_LIST, POINT_LIST, EDGE_LIST, CIRCUMFERENTIAL, and RADIAL.
expression (tuple) –
A sequence specifying the nodes or points that make up the path. The definition of the path expression depends on the type argument.
- If type = NODE_LIST, expression must be a sequence of sequences. Each inner sequence contains two items, the first item is a String specifying the name of a part instance, and the second item can be either a sequence of Ints or a sequence of Strings, each specifying a range of Ints.

Each inner sequence contains two items, the first item is a String specifying the name of the part instance, and the second item is a sequence of tuples of four Ints that uniquely identify an element edge. The four Ints are: 1. The element label. 2. The element face index (one-based). 3. The face edge index (one-based). 4. The edge direction. A positive number specifies that the edge direction runs from the edge start node to the edge end node. A negative number specifies the opposite.

circleDefinition (SymbolicConstant) – A SymbolicConstant specifying the method in which the circle is being defined. This argument is valid only when type = CIRCUMFERENTIAL or RADIAL. Possible values are ORIGIN_AXIS and POINT_ARC.When the value is ORIGIN_AXIS, the first two points in expression are points on the rotational axis and the third point lies on the x-axis. When the value is POINT_ARC, the three points in expression are points lying on the arc of the circle.
numSegments (int) – An Int specifying the number of equal segments in the path. This argument is valid only when type = CIRCUMFERENTIAL or RADIAL.
startAngle (float) – A Float specifying the start angle of the circumferential path. This argument is valid only when type = CIRCUMFERENTIAL.
endAngle (float) – A Float specifying the end angle of the circumferential path. This argument is valid only when type = CIRCUMFERENTIAL.

The ProbeReport object is used to store settings associated with tabular reports of probe data. The ProbeReport object has no constructor. Abaqus creates the defaultProbeReport and the probeReport members when you import the Visualization module. When probing is initiated for the first time, the values in the probeReport member are initialized using the values from the defaultProbeReport member.

Note

This object can be accessed by:

import visualization
session.defaultProbeReport
session.probeReport

Public Methods:

setValues([options, numColumns, numDigits, ...])

This method modifies the ProbeReport object.

setValues(options=None, numColumns=80, numDigits=6, numFormat=abaqusConstants.ENGINEERING, pageWidth=abaqusConstants.NO_LIMIT, printTotal=OFF, printMinMax=OFF)[source]#

This method modifies the ProbeReport object.

Note

Check ProbeReport.setValues on help.3ds.com/0.1..

Parameters:

options (Optional[str], default: None) – None or a ProbeReport object specifying values to be copied. If other arguments are also supplied to setValues, they will override the values in options. The default value is None.
numColumns (int, default: 80) – An Int specifying the number of columns in the report file. This argument is valid only when pageWidth = SPECIFY. The default value is 80.
numDigits (int, default: 6) – An Int specifying the number of significant digits to be written for decimal values. The default value is 6.
numFormat (SymbolicConstant, default: ENGINEERING) – A SymbolicConstant specifying the number format to be used when formatting decimal values. Possible values are AUTOMATIC, ENGINEERING, and SCIENTIFIC. The default value is ENGINEERING.
pageWidth (SymbolicConstant, default: NO_LIMIT) – A SymbolicConstant specifying the page width format. Possible values are NO_LIMIT and SPECIFY. The default value is NO_LIMIT.
printTotal (Union[AbaqusBoolean, bool], default: OFF) – A Boolean specifying whether to print the total value of either the field output result (when probeObject = ”ODB”) or the x- and y-coordinates (when probeObject = XYPlot). The default value is OFF.
printMinMax (Union[AbaqusBoolean, bool], default: OFF) – A Boolean specifying whether to print the minimum and maximum values of either the field output result (when probeObject = ”ODB”) or the x- and y-coordinates (when probeObject = XYPlot). The default value is OFF.

SelectedProbeValues#

class SelectedProbeValues[source]#

The SelectedProbeValues object has no constructor. The SelectedProbeValues object is created when you import the Visualization module.

Note

This object can be accessed by:

import visualization
session.selectedProbeValues

Note

Check SelectedProbeValues on help.3ds.com/0.1..

Public Data Attributes:

`length`	An Int specifying the length of the values member.
`fieldOutputAvailable`	A Boolean specifying whether any probe values have been selected (as is necessary prior to writing to a file).
`values`	A tuple of tuples of Floats specifying the selected probe values.
`lastValues`	A tuple of Floats specifying the last sequence of the values member.

fieldOutputAvailable: Union[AbaqusBoolean, bool] = OFF[source]#: A Boolean specifying whether any probe values have been selected (as is necessary prior to writing to a file).

lastValues: tuple = ()[source]#: A tuple of Floats specifying the last sequence of the values member.

length: Optional[int] = None[source]#: An Int specifying the length of the values member.

values: Optional[float] = None[source]#: A tuple of tuples of Floats specifying the selected probe values.

Spectrum#

class Spectrum(name, colors)[source]#

The Spectrum object defines a color spectrum for the contour display.
