BeadFilter object

The BeadFilter object defines a growth geometric restriction.

The BeadFilter object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.

Access

        import optimization
        mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].geometricRestrictions[name]
      

BeadFilter(...)

This method creates a BeadFilter object.

Path

          mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].BeadGrowth
        

Required arguments

name

A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key.

region

A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied.

Optional arguments

radius

A Float specifying the filter radius. The default value is double the average edge length of the model.

filterRadiusBy

The SymbolicConstant defines whether the filter radius is in absolute or relative units. For an absolute radius, the value is ABSOLUTE_VALUE. For a relative radius, the value is RELATIVE. The default value is ABSOLUTE_VALUE.

filterCheckRegion

The SymbolicConstant FILTER_REGION or a Region object specifying the filter check region. If the value is FILTER_REGION, the value of the region is used as both the filter region and the filter check region. The default value is FILTER_REGION.

Return value

A BeadFilter object.

Exceptions

None.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the BeadFilter object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the BeadFilter method, except for the name argument.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The BeadFilter object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the BeadFilter method.
