Creat table collections for Assembly#

class TableCollectionAssembly[source]#

An Assembly object is a container for instances of parts. The Assembly object has no constructor command. Abaqus creates the rootAssembly member when a Model object is created.

Methods

ElementProgressiveActivation(name[, elset, ...])

This method creates an ElementProgressiveActivation object and places it in the elementProgressiveActivation repository.

ElementProgressiveActivation(name: str, elset: ~abaqus.Region.Region.Region = <abaqus.Region.Region.Region object>, deformation: ~abaqusConstants.BooleanType = 0, freeSurfaceType: ~abaqusConstants.SymbolicConstantType = 'NONE') → ElementProgressiveActivation[source]#

This method creates an ElementProgressiveActivation object and places it in the elementProgressiveActivation repository.

Parameters:

name: A String specifying the key of the repository.
elset: A Region object specifying the region containing the elements that will be activated during the analysis.
deformation: A Boolean value specifying whether the elements that have not yet been activated will follow the deformations of the active elements. Set *deformation*=ON when the deformation of the active elements is excessive. The default value is OFF.
freeSurfaceType: A SymbolicConstant specifying the exposed areas of the element facets that are active for convection or radiation boundary conditions to be applied. Possible values are NONE and FACET. If *freeSurfaceType*=FACET, user subroutine UEPACTIVATIONFACET will be called at the start of the increment for each element. If *freeSurfaceType*=NONE, all the exposed areas of the element facets are considered. The default value is NONE.

Returns:

An ElementProgressiveActivation object.

Raises:

AbaqusException: If the region does not contain only elements.
