Qualified name: loads.link_spacer.api.link_spacer_api.LinkSpacerSetup

class loads.link_spacer.api.link_spacer_api.LinkSpacerSetup(item)[source]#

Bases: LoadSetup, TranslationSettableMixin, RotationSettableMixin

The API handler for link spacers

The following example shows how to create a link spacer using the API, it is assumed that these steps were performed in each of the examples for other methods in this class.

Example

>>> from more.api import ApiGateway
>>> api = ApiGateway(proj=proj)
>>> simulation_setup = api.create_simulation_setup()
>>> lcc_setup = simulation_setup.create_load_case_container_setup().set_name(name='Example LCC')
>>> lc_setup = lcc_setup.create_load_case_setup(lc_type='Mechanical load case').set_name(name='Example LC')
>>> link_spacer_setup = lc_setup.create_load_setup(load_type='Link spacer')

The next example shows how to get an API object for an already existing load.

Example

>>> from more.api import ApiGateway
>>> api = ApiGateway(proj=proj)
>>> simulation_setup = api.create_simulation_setup()
>>> lcc_setup = simulation_setup.create_load_case_container_setup().set_name(name='Example LCC')
>>> lc_setup = lcc_setup.create_load_case_setup(lc_type='Mechanical load case').set_name(name='Example LC')

>>> link_spacer_setup = lc_setup.get_load_setup(index=0) # The load under this index must already exist

Methods

`set_dof`	Sets the value of an element of the DOF vector
`set_dof_dict`	Sets the values of the load vector to those given in the dictionary
`set_link`	Deprecated method
`set_link_by_name`	Sets the link for the associated link spacer
`set_ru`	Sets the 'ru' value of the load vector
`set_rv`	Sets the 'rv' value of the load vector
`set_rw`	Sets the 'rw' value of the load vector
`set_u`	Sets the 'u' value of the load vector
`set_v`	Sets the 'v' value of the load vector
`set_w`	Sets the 'w' value of the load vector

set_dof(dof_name, value) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#

Sets the value of an element of the DOF vector

See example at the top for how to create the setup object

Example

>>> link_spacer_setup = link_spacer_setup.set_dof(dof_name='v', value=10)

Returns:

self

Return type:

LinkSpacerSetup

Raises:

TypeError – Raised if the supplied value is not a floating point number
NameNotFoundError – Raised if the given dof name is not supported

set_dof_dict(dof_values_dict: Dict[str, float]) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#

Sets the values of the load vector to those given in the dictionary

See example at the top for how to create a link spacer setup object

Example

>>> link_spacer_setup = link_spacer_setup.set_dof_dict(dof_values_dict={'u': 5, 'ru': 10, 'v': 2.0})

Returns:

self

Return type:

LinkSpacerSetup

Raises:

TypeError – Raised if the supplied value is not a floating point number
NameNotFoundError – Raised if a key in the supplied dictionary is not a recognized dof

set_link(link) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#: Deprecated method

Deprecated

set_link will be removed in a future MORe release, it is replaced by set_link_by_name()

set_link_by_name(link_name: str) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#

Sets the link for the associated link spacer

See example at the top for how to create a link spacer setup object

Example

>>> link_spacer_setup = link_spacer_setup.set_link_by_name(link_name='example link') # The link with this name must already exist

Returns:: self
Return type:: LinkSpacerSetup
Raises:: NameNotFoundError – Raised if no link has the supplied name

set_ru(value: float) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#

Sets the ‘ru’ value of the load vector

See example at the top for how to create a link spacer setup object

Example

>>> link_spacer_setup = link_spacer_setup.set_ru(value=10)

Returns:: self
Return type:: LinkSpacerSetup
Raises:: TypeError – Raised if the supplied value is not a floating point number

set_rv(value: float) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#

Sets the ‘rv’ value of the load vector

See example at the top for how to create a link spacer setup object

Example

>>> link_spacer_setup = link_spacer_setup.set_rv(value=10)

Returns:: self
Return type:: LinkSpacerSetup
Raises:: TypeError – Raised if the supplied value is not a floating point number

set_rw(value: float) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#

Sets the ‘rw’ value of the load vector

See example at the top for how to create a link spacer setup object

Example

>>> link_spacer_setup = link_spacer_setup.set_rw(value=10)

Returns:: self
Return type:: LinkSpacerSetup
Raises:: TypeError – Raised if the supplied value is not a floating point number

set_u(value: float) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#

Example

>>> link_spacer_setup = link_spacer_setup.set_v(value=10)

Returns:: self
Return type:: LinkSpacerSetup
Raises:: TypeError – Raised if the supplied value is not a floating point number

set_w(value: float) → LinkSpacerSetup[source]#
