This method creates a FieldOutputRequest object.
Path
mdb.models[name].FieldOutputRequest
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the repository key.
- createStepName
A String specifying the name of the step in which the object is created.
Optional arguments
- region
The SymbolicConstant MODEL or a Region object specifying the region from which output is requested. The SymbolicConstant MODEL represents the whole model. The default value is MODEL.
- variables
A sequence of Strings specifying output request variable or component names, or the SymbolicConstant PRESELECT or ALL. PRESELECT represents all default output variables for the given step. ALL represents all valid output variables. The default value is PRESELECT.
- frequency
The SymbolicConstant LAST_INCREMENT or an Int specifying the output frequency in increments. The default value is 1.
- modes
The SymbolicConstant ALL or a sequence of Ints specifying a list of eigenmodes for which output is desired. The default value is ALL.
- timeInterval
The SymbolicConstant EVERY_TIME_INCREMENT or a Float specifying the time interval at which the output states are to be written. The default value is EVERY_TIME_INCREMENT.
- numIntervals
An Int specifying the number of intervals during the step at which output database states are to be written. The default value is 20.
- timeMarks
A Boolean specifying when to write results to the output database. OFF indicates that output is written immediately after the time dictated by the specified number of intervals. ON indicates that output is written at the exact times dictated by the specified number of intervals. The default value is OFF.
- boltLoad
A String specifying a bolt load from which output is requested.
- sectionPoints
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a sequence of Ints specifying the section points for which output requested. The default is DEFAULT.
- interactions
None or a sequence of Strings specifying the interaction names. The default value is None.
The sequence can contain only one String.
- rebar
A SymbolicConstant specifying whether output is requested for rebar. Possible values are EXCLUDE, INCLUDE, and ONLY. The default value is EXCLUDE.
- filter
The SymbolicConstant ANTIALIASING or a String specifying the name of an output filter object. The default value is None.
- directions
A Boolean specifying whether to output directions of the local material coordinate system. The default value is ON.
- fasteners
A String specifying the fastener name. The default value is an empty string.
- assembledFastener
A String specifying the assembled fastener name. The default value is an empty string.
- assembledFastenerSet
A String specifying the set name from the model referenced by the assembled fastener, assembledFastener. The default value is an empty string.
- exteriorOnly
A Boolean specifying whether the output domain is restricted to the exterior of the model. This argument is only valid if region=MODEL. The default value is OFF.
- layupNames
A List of Composite Layer Names.
- layupLocationMethod
A Symbolic constant specifying the method used to indicate the output locations for composite layups. Possible values are ALL_LOCATIONS, SPECIFIED and, TYPED_IN. The default value is SPECIFIED.
- outputAtPlyTop
A Boolean specifying whether to output at the ply top section point. The default value is False.
- outputAtPlyMid
A Boolean specifying whether to output at the ply midsection point. The default value is True.
- outputAtPlyBottom
-
A Boolean specifying whether to output at the ply bottom section point. The default value is False.
- position
A SymbolicConstant specifying the position on an element where output needs to be written. Possible values are INTEGRATION_POINTS, AVERAGED_AT_NODES, CENTROIDAL, and NODES. The default value is INTEGRATION_POINTS.
Return value
A FieldOutputRequest object.
Exceptions
None.
