Create a new layup mapping object.

Parameters

• name: The name of the solid model.
• id: The ID of the solid model.
• active : Active status of layup mapping object.
• entire_solid_mesh : If true, then the scope is all solid elements.
• solid_element_sets: Defines the scope of solid elements if entire_solid_mesh is ‘False’.
• element_sets: a list of element sets of the reference surface. Used to extract the plies.
• filler_material : Global filler material which is assigned to the elements without any layers.
• delete_lost_elements : If enabled, then all elements which do not intersect with the layup are deleted.
• rosette_selection_method_type : Defines how the coordinate systems are applied to the filler/lost elements. Used if the element technology is layered_element.
• base_element_rosette_selection_method_type : Defines how the coordinate systems are applied to the base solid elements. Used if the element technology is reinforcing.
• element_technology: Specifies the element technology of this mapping (layered or reinforcing elementss).
• scale_ply_thicknesses : Scale plies within layered solid element if they do not fill the entire element, else add void layers.
• all_plies : Whether all plies of the selected scope (element_sets) should be mapped or only specific sequences.
• use_imported_plies: If selected, imported ply objects can be used for the mapping. Else standard modeling plies.
• sequences : List of Modeling Groups and/or modeling plies which are mapped onto the element scope.
• rosettes : List of rosettes used to orient the lost elements. Used if the element technology is layered_element.
• base_element_rosettes : List of coordinate systems used to orient the base solid elements. Used if the element technology is reinforcing.
• minimum_void_material_thickness : Specifies the minimum thickness of void layers. Default is equal to the minimum analysis ply thickness of the model.
• void_material : Global void material which is assigned to layered elements that are not fully filled with ply material.
• base_material: Specify the base material of the solids if reinforcing are used.
• base_element_material_handling: Whether to remove the base material of the solids where the reinforcing intersect, or keep it.
• reinforcing_stress_state: Specify the stress state of the reinforcing.
• reinforcing_behavior: Select the mechanical behavior of the reinforcing.

Returns

The created layup mapping object.

Note

• Base solid elements are the solid elements of a Lay-up Mapping object of type reinforcing which are intersected with the reinforcing surfaces.
