create_stackup

MaterialData.create_stackup(name, id=None, fabrics=None, area_price=0.0, symmetry='No Symmetry', layup_sequence='Top-Down', drop_off_material_handling='Global', cut_off_material_handling='Computed', drop_off_material=None, cut_off_material=None, draping_material_model='woven', draping_ud_coefficient=0.0)

Create a new stackup.

Parameters

• name: Name for the stackup.
• fabrics: Fabrics of the stackup.
• area_price: Area price of the stackup.
• symmetry: Symmetry of the stackup. Available options: ‘No Symmetry’, ‘Even Symmetry’, and ‘Odd Symmetry’.
• layup_sequence: Layup sequence of the stackup. Available options: ‘Top-Down’ and ‘Bottom-Up’.
• drop_off_material_handling: Type defining how drop-off material is used in drop-off areas of the stackup.
• cut_off_material_handling: Defines how cut‑off material is used in cut‑off areas of the stackup.
• drop_off_material: Material to use for ‘Custom’ drop-off material handling.
• cut_off_material: Material to use for ‘Custom’ cut-off material handling.
• draping_material_model: Material model for draping, either ‘woven’ or ‘unidirectional’.
• draping_ud_coefficient: Coefficient for the unidirectional draping material model.

Returns

The created stackup.

Examples

>>> material_data = db.models['beam'].material_data
>>> stackup_1 = material_data.create_stackup(name='Stackup.1', fabrics=(material_data.fabrics['Fabric.1'],), draping1=0.3, draping2=0.7)
