## Model.create\_sampling\_point(name, id=None, point=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), direction=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), locked=False, use\_default\_reference\_direction=True, rosette=None, offset\_is\_middle=True, consider\_coupling\_effect=True, solution\_set=None)

Create a new sampling point.

### Parameters

- name: Name of the sampling point.
- point: Sampling point.
- direction: Sampling direction.
- use\_default\_reference\_direction: Whether to use the default reference direction for the evaluation.
- rosette: Rosette used for the evaluation of the reference direction.
- offset\_is\_middle: Specifies the offset of the reference plane used for the CLT analyses.
- consider\_coupling\_effect: Indicates whether the laminate properties are evaluated considering the coupling effect (B matrix).
- solution\_set: Specifies the solution and the set of the element-wise postprocessing. Note, this must be given as a tuple.

### Returns

The created sampling point.
