## ModelingGroup.create\_interface\_layer(name=None, id=None, global\_ply\_nr=None, oriented\_selection\_sets=None, open\_area\_sets=None, active=True)

Create an interface layer.

### Parameters

- name: Name of the new interface layer.
- id: Optional ID of the new interface layer.
- global\_ply\_nr: Ply number for stacking sequence.
- oriented\_selection\_sets: Oriented selection set for the expansion of the interface layer.
- open\_area\_sets: Defines the initial crack of a VCCT layer (optional).
- active: interface layer active (default: ‘True’).

### Returns

The created interface layer.

### Example

```pycon
>>> oes_1 = model.oriented_selection_sets['OrientedSelectionSet.1']
>>> mpg = model.modeling_groups['PlyGroup.1']
>>> mp_1 = mpg.create_interface_layer( name='InterfaceLayer.1',
                                  global_ply_nr=0,
                                  oriented_selection_sets=(oes_1,),
                                  active=True)

```
