Adaptivity#

The Adaptivity commands are used to define objects, perform analyses, and calculate new meshes for Arbitrary Lagrangian Eularian (ALE) adaptive smoothing (adaptive meshing) and varying topology adaptivity (adaptive remeshing).

Create adaptivity mesh control features#

class AdaptivityModel(name: str, description: str = '', stefanBoltzmann: float | None = None, absoluteZero: float | None = None, waveFormulation: SymbolicConstantType = 'NOT_SET', modelType: SymbolicConstantType = 'STANDARD_EXPLICIT', universalGas: float | None = None, copyConstraints: BooleanType = 1, copyConnectors: BooleanType = 1, copyInteractions: BooleanType = 1)[source]

Abaqus creates a Model object named Model-1 when a session is started.

Notes

This object can be accessed by:

mdb.models[name]

Methods

AdaptiveMeshConstraint([name, category, ...])

The AdaptiveMeshConstraint object is the abstract base type for other Arbitrary Lagrangian Eularian (ALE) style AdaptiveMeshConstraint objects.

AdaptiveMeshControl(name[, remapping, ...])

This method creates an AdaptiveMeshControl object.

DisplacementAdaptiveMeshConstraint(name, ...)

This method creates a DisplacementAdaptiveMeshConstraint object.

RemeshingRule(name, stepName, variables[, ...])

This method creates a RemeshingRule object.

VelocityAdaptiveMeshConstraint(name, ...[, ...])

This method creates a VelocityAdaptiveMeshConstraint object.

adaptiveRemesh(odb)

This method remeshes the model using the active remesh rules in the model and the error indicator results from a previous analysis.

Create adaptivity mesh state features#

class AdaptivityStep[source]

The Step object stores the parameters that determine the context of the step. The Step object is the abstract base type for other Step objects. The Step object has no explicit constructor. The methods and members of the Step object are common to all objects derived from the Step.

Notes

This object can be accessed by:

import step
mdb.models[name].steps[name]

Methods

AdaptiveMeshConstraintState([...])

The AdaptiveMeshConstraintState object is the abstract base type for other Arbitrary Lagrangian Eularian (ALE) style AdaptiveMeshConstraintState objects.

AdaptiveMeshDomain(region[, controls, ...])

The AdaptiveMeshDomain object defines the region and controls that govern an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eularian (ALE) style adaptive smoothing mesh domain.

DisplacementAdaptiveMeshConstraintState([...])

The DisplacementAdaptiveMeshConstraintState object stores the propagating data for an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eularian (ALE) style displacement/rotation adaptive mesh constraint in a step.

VelocityAdaptiveMeshConstraintState([v1, ...])

The VelocityAdaptiveMeshConstraintState object stores the propagating data for an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eularian (ALE) style velocity adaptive mesh constraint in a step.
