Method detail

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.Activate() → None

Activate the current object.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.AddComment() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Comment

Creates a new child Comment.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.AddFigure() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Figure

Creates a new child Figure.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.AddImage(filePath: str) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Image

Creates a new child Image.
If a filePath is provided, the image will be loaded from that file,
if not, the image will be a screen capture of the Geometry window.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.CopyTo(other: Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.DataModelObject) → None

Copies all visible properties from this object to another.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.CreateParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter

Creates a new parameter for a Property.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.Delete() → None

Run the Delete action.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.Duplicate() → Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Interfaces.IDataModelObject

Creates a copy of the current DataModelObject.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.GetChildren(recurses: bool, children: List[ChildrenType]) → List[ChildrenType]

Gets the list of children, filtered by type.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.GetParameter(propName: str) → Ansys.ACT.Interfaces.Mechanical.IParameter

Gets the parameter corresponding to the given property.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.GroupAllSimilarChildren() → None

Run the GroupAllSimilarChildren action.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.GroupSimilarObjects() → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.TreeGroupingFolder

Run the GroupSimilarObjects action.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.PropertyByAPIName(name: str) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Property

Get a property by its API name.
If multiple properties have the same API Name, only the first property with that name will be returned.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.PropertyByName(name: str) → Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Property

Get a property by its unique name.

GeneralizedPlaneStrain.RemoveParameter(propName: str) → None

Removes the parameter from the parameter set corresponding to the given property.
