mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.sets[name] Set(...)
This method creates a set from a sequence of objects in a model database.
Path
mdb.models[name].parts[name].Set
mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.Set Required arguments
- name
-
A String specifying the repository key.
Optional arguments
At least one sequence argument must be provided—elements,
nodes, vertices, edges,
faces, cells, or referencePoints.
The arguments xVertices, xEdges, and
xFaces are used to exclude lower-dimension entities and to
provide finer control on the content of the set. For example, the following
statement defines a region enclosing a square face but without two of its
edges:
set = mdb.models['Model-1'].rootAssembly.Set(name='mySet', \
faces=f[3:4], \
xEdges=e[1:3])
- nodes
-
A sequence of
MeshNode
objects. The default value is None.
- elements
-
A sequence of
MeshElement
objects. The default value is None.
- region
-
A Region object specifying other objects to be included in the set. The
default value is None.
- vertices
-
A sequence of Vertex objects. The default value is
None.
- edges
-
A sequence of Edge objects. The default value is
None.
- faces
-
A sequence of Face objects. The default value is
None.
- cells
-
A sequence of Cell objects. The default value is
None.
- xVertices
-
A sequence of Vertex objects that excludes specific vertices from the set.
The default value is None.
- xEdges
-
A sequence of Edge objects that excludes specific edges from the set. The
default value is None.
- xFaces
-
A sequence of Face objects that excludes specific faces from the set. The
default value is None.
- referencePoints
-
A sequence of ReferencePoint objects. The default value is an empty
sequence.
- skinFaces
-
A tuple of tuples specifying a skin name and the sequence of faces
associated with this skin. Valid only for geometric regions on 3D and 2D parts.
- skinEdges
-
A tuple of tuples specifying a skin name and the sequence of edges
associated with this skin. Valid only for geometric regions on Axisymmetric
parts.
- stringerEdges
-
A tuple of tuples specifying a stringer name and the sequence of edges
associated with this stringer. Valid only for geometric regions on 3D and 2D
parts.
Return value A
Set object. Exceptions
InvalidNameError. Set(...)
This method copies a set from an existing set.
Path
mdb.models[name].parts[name].Set
mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.Set Required arguments
- name
-
A String specifying the name of the set.
- objectToCopy
-
A Set object to be copied.
Return value A
Set object. Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
SetByBoolean(...)
This method creates a set by performing a boolean operation on two or more
input sets.
Path
mdb.models[name].parts[name].SetByBoolean
mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.SetByBoolean
Required arguments
- name
-
A String specifying the repository key.
- sets
-
A sequence of Set objects.
Optional arguments
- operation
-
A SymbolicConstant specifying the boolean operation to perform. Possible
values are UNION, INTERSECTION, and
DIFFERENCE. The default value is
UNION. Note that if DIFFERENCE is
specified, the order of the given input sets is important; All sets specified
after the first one are subtracted from the first one.
Return value A
Set object. Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
SetFromColor(...)
This method creates a set containing faces of the part marked with a
specified color attribute. Third-party applications can assign color attributes
to faces, and the color attribute can be imported into
Abaqus from an ACIS file. You can use this method to
create sets only on parts; however, you can access the sets from instances of
the parts in the assembly.
Path
mdb.models[name].parts[name].SetFromColor
Required arguments
- name
-
A String specifying the repository key.
- color
-
A sequence of three Ints specifying the RGB color. Values can
range from 0 to 255. The first integer is
for red, the second for green, and the third for blue. For example, a face colored
in yellow is identified by: color=(255,255,0)
Return value A
Set object. Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
SetFromElementLabels(...)
This method creates a set from a sequence of element labels in a model
database.
Path
mdb.models[name].parts[name].SetFromElementLabels
mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.SetFromElementLabels
Required arguments
- name
-
A String specifying the repository key.
- elementLabels
-
A sequence of element labels. An element label is a sequence of Int element
identifiers. For example, for a part:
elementLabels=(2,3,5,7)
For an assembly:
elementLabels=(('Instance-1', (2,3,5,7)),
('Instance-2', (1,2,3)))
Return value A
Set object. Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
SetFromNodeLabels(...)
This method creates a set from a sequence of node labels in a model
database.
Path
mdb.models[name].parts[name].SetFromNodeLabels
mdb.models[name].rootAssembly.SetFromNodeLabels
Required arguments
- name
-
A String specifying the repository key.
- nodeLabels
-
A sequence of node labels. A node label is a sequence of Int node
identifiers. For example, for a part:
nodeLabels=(2,3,5,7)
For an assembly:
nodeLabels=(('Instance-1', (2,3,5,7)), ('Instance-2', (1,2,3)))
Optional arguments
- unsorted
- A Boolean specifying whether the created set is unsorted.
The default value is False.
Return value A
Set object. Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
