class Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.AMBuildSequence

Bases: object

An AM build sequence contains a minimum of two steps - a heating step followed by a dwell step.

All sequences must begin with a heat step and end with a dwell step.

Overview

Methods

Name Description
GetStep Gets the build sequence step at the 1-based step number.

Properties

Name Description
CombineSteps Gets or sets the Combine Sequence Steps flag. [Default = False]
CombinedDurationType Gets or sets the combined heating duration type. [Default = ScanTime]
NumberOfSteps Gets or sets the number of steps in the build sequence. [Default = 2, Minimum = 2, Maximum = 31]

Property detail

property AMBuildSequence.CombineSteps : bool | None

Gets or sets the Combine Sequence Steps flag. [Default = False]

An exception is thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True.

property AMBuildSequence.CombinedDurationType : Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.AMHeatingDurationType | None

Gets or sets the combined heating duration type. [Default = ScanTime]

An exception is thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True.

property AMBuildSequence.NumberOfSteps : int | None

Gets or sets the number of steps in the build sequence. [Default = 2, Minimum = 2, Maximum = 31]

An exception is thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True. An exception is also thrown if the value is less than 2 or greater than 31.

Method detail

AMBuildSequence.GetStep(stepNumber: int) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.AMBuildSequenceStep

Gets the build sequence step at the 1-based step number.

     An exception is thrown if the stepNumber is less than 1 or greater than the number of steps. An exception is
     also thrown if the EnableBuildSequence property is not True.
