[docs]class DisplayBody(Constraint):
"""The DisplayBody object defines a constraint such that the specified instance is used for
display only and does not take part in the analysis. However it will still be visible
during postprocessing and its position at any frame will be defined by the translation
and rotation of the specified control points.
The DisplayBody object is derived from the ConstrainedSketchConstraint object.
Attributes
----------
suppressed: Boolean
A Boolean specifying whether the constraint is suppressed or not. The default value is
OFF.
Notes
-----
This object can be accessed by:
.. code-block:: python
import interaction
mdb.models[name].constraints[name]
The corresponding analysis keywords are:
- DISPLAY BODY

"""This method creates a DisplayBody object.

This function can be accessed by:
.. code-block:: python

Parameters
----------
name
A String specifying the constraint repository key.
instance
A PartInstance object specifying the part instance that is to be used for display only.
controlPoints
A ModelDotArray object specifying the motion of the PartInstance. The control points may
be ConstrainedSketchVertex, ReferencePoint, or MeshNode objects. Their motion will control the motion of
the PartInstance. If this argument is set to an empty sequence, the PartInstance will
remain fixed in space during the analysis. The sequence can have either one object or
three objects.
Returns
-------
A DisplayBody object.
