Parameters
----------
name
A String specifying the name of the object.
stepName
A String specifying the name of the step in which resizing should occur for this rule.
variables
A sequence of Strings specifying the output request variables that Abaqus will use as
error indicators.
description
A String specifying a descriptive string for this rule. The default value is an empty
string.
region
The SymbolicConstant MODEL or a Region object specifying the region in which Abaqus will
remesh and generate output. The SymbolicConstant MODEL represents the entire applicable
model. The default value is MODEL.
sizingMethod
A SymbolicConstant specifying the method for calculating the new mesh sizes. The
SymbolicConstant DEFAULT indicates that Abaqus will use the default calculation method
for each individual variable. Possible values are DEFAULT, UNIFORM_ERROR, and
MINIMUM_MAXIMUM. The default value is DEFAULT.
errorTarget
A Float specifying the target error percentage for each variable in the region. A value
of 0.0 indicates that Abaqus will use automated error target reduction for the region.
You use the *errorTarget* argument when *sizingMethod*=UNIFORM_ERROR. The default value
is 0.0.
maxSolutionErrorTarget
A Float specifying the target error percentage at the location of the maximum solution
value in the region. A value of 0.0 indicates that Abaqus will use automated error
target reduction for the region. You use the *maxSolutionErrorTarget* argument when
*sizingMethod*=MINIMUM_MAXIMUM. The default value is 0.0.
minSolutionErrorTarget
A Float specifying the target error percentage at the location of the minimum solution
value in the region. A value of 0.0 indicates that Abaqus will use automated error
target reduction for the region. You use the *minSolutionErrorTarget* argument when
*sizingMethod*=MINIMUM_MAXIMUM. The default value is 0.0.
meshBias
An Int specifying an indication of how much Abaqus will bias the mesh toward the
location of the maximum solution value in the region. The higher the value, the more the
mesh will bias towards the location of the maximum solution value. You use the
*meshBias* argument when *sizingMethod*=MINIMUM_MAXIMUM. The default value is 0.0.
minElementSize
A Float specifying the minimum size of any single element. The default value is 0.0.
maxElementSize
A Float specifying the maximum size of any single element. The default value is 0.0.
outputFrequency
A SymbolicConstant specifying the frequency with which the error indicators are saved to
the output database file (.odb). Possible values are LAST_INCREMENT and ALL_INCREMENTS.
The default value is LAST_INCREMENT.
specifyMinSize
A Boolean specifying an indication of whether to use a user-supplied minimum element
size or to calculate a characteristic minimum element size. The default value is OFF.
specifyMaxSize
A Boolean specifying an indication of whether to use a user-supplied maximum element
size or to calculate a characteristic maximum element size. The default value is ON.
coarseningFactor
A SymbolicConstant or an Int specifying an indication of the upper limit on the element
growth from one remeshing iteration to the next. Possible values are DEFAULT_LIMIT and
NOT_ALLOWED. The default value is DEFAULT_LIMIT.
refinementFactor
A SymbolicConstant or an Int specifying an indication of the upper limit on element
shrinkage from one remeshing iteration to the next. Possible values are DEFAULT_LIMIT
and NOT_ALLOWED. The default value is DEFAULT_LIMIT.
elementCountLimit
None or an Int specifying an approximate limit on the number of elements that will be
created during remeshing. Use None to indicate there is not upper limit. The default
value is None.
Returns
-------
A RemeshingRule object.
Raises
------
AbaqusException.
