Method detail

InternalHeatGeneration.Activate() → None

Activate the current object.

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

Creates a new child Comment.

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

Creates a new child Figure.

InternalHeatGeneration.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.

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

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

Creates a new parameter for a Property.

InternalHeatGeneration.Delete() → None

Run the Delete action.

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

Creates a copy of the current DataModelObject.

InternalHeatGeneration.GetActivateAtLoadStep(stepNumber: int) → bool

Gets whether the internal heat generation is active at the specified load step.
