AssignCylindricalSupport and EditCylindricalSupport

AssignCylindricalSupport

This command creates a Cylindrical Support boundary in a Mechanical–Modal or Mechanical-Structural design.

UI Access Mechanical > Boundaries > Assign > Cylindrical Support
Parameters
Name Type Description
<NAME> string Boundary condition name
<Faces> list Faces included in the boundary condition assignment
<Axial> string State of axial direction constraint ("Fixed" or "Free")
<Radial> string State of radial direction constraint ("Fixed" or "Free")
<Tangential> string State of tangential direction constraint ("Fixed" or "Free")
Return Value None

 

Python Syntax  AssignCylindricalSupport (<NAME>, <Faces>, <Axial>, <Radial>, <Tangential>)
Python Example 
oModule.AssignCylindricalSupport(
	[
		"NAME:CylindricalSupport1",
		"Faces:="                 , [27],
		"Axial:="                 , "Free",
		"Radial:="                , "Fixed",
		"Tangential:="            , "Free",
	])

 


EditCylindricalSupport

Note:

In the above script examples, you can substitute "Edit" for "Assign" to modify a pre-existing cylindrical support boundary instead of creating a new one. The script must identify the Name of the existing support within the Edit command line. Then, you can change the Name and the status of the Axial, Radial, and/or Tangential constraint directions (Free or Fixed). You cannot change the assignment Faces in this manner.

Script examples for editing a cylindrical support boundary are given below.
