RigidBody(...)
This method creates a OdbRigidBody object.
Path
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].RigidBody
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.RigidBody
Required arguments
- referenceNode
An OdbSet object specifying the reference node set associated with the rigid body.
Optional arguments
- position
A SymbolicConstant specifying the specific location of the OdbRigidBody reference node relative to the rest of the rigid body. Possible values are INPUT and CENTER_OF_MASS. The default value is INPUT.
- isothermal
A Boolean specifying specify whether the OdbRigidBody can have temperature gradients or be isothermal. This is used only for fully coupled thermal-stress analysis The default value is ON.
- elements
An OdbSet object specifying the element set whose motion is governed by the motion of rigid body reference node.
- tieNodes
An OdbSet object specifying the node set which have both translational and rotational degrees of freedom associated with the rigid body.
- pinNodes
An OdbSet object specifying the node set which have only translational degrees of freedom associated with the rigid body.
- analyticSurface
An AnalyticSurface object specifying the analytic surface whose motion is governed by the motion of rigid body reference node.
Return value
An OdbRigidBody object.
Exceptions
None.
