Set the default values of the ExportMapdlCdbParams object.

  • Parameters:

    config_settings: str, optional : MAPDL configuration settings in CDB format to be added at the beginning of the file.

    pre_solution_settings: str, optional : MAPDL Settings in CDB format to be added before the solution block in the file.

    material_properties: str, optional : Materials in CDB format to be added to the file.

    boundary_conditions: str, optional : Boundary conditions in CDB format to be added to the file.

    analysis_settings: str, optional : MAPDL analysis settings in CDB format to be added after the solution block in the file. Note: Boundary conditions can be included into analysis settings.

    write_cells: bool, optional : Option to write out cells as part of the file.

    enable_face_based_labels: bool, optional : Option to write element components for labels.

    write_by_zones: bool, optional : Option to write zones in the file.

    consider_general_connectors_as_spot_weld: bool, optional : Option to translate all general connector joints (other than axial) to spot weld type. This is important when nodes are non coincident.

    analysis_type: CdbAnalysisType, optional : Option to specify CDB analysis type.

    simulation_type: CdbSimulationType, optional : Simulation type for the file.

    analysis_settings_file_name: str, optional : File path to export mapdl analysis settings.

    write_separate_blocks: bool, optional : Controls whether element blocks should be written separately. When true, writes elements in separate blocks based on the format specified in separate_blocks_format_type. When false, writes all elements into a single block.

    separate_blocks_format_type: SeparateBlocksFormatType, optional : Controls the format type when writing separate element blocks. Only used when write_separate_blocks is true.

    export_fasteners_as_swgen: bool, optional : Option to export fasteners as swgen. When true, translates fasteners into compact swgen blocks in the exported file. The default value is false.

    export_rigid_bodies_as_rbgen: bool, optional : Option to export rigid bodies as rbgen. When true, translates rigid bodies into compact rbgen blocks in the exported file. The default value is false.

    write_component_based_ties: bool, optional : Option to write ties using component-based format. When true, writes ties using component selection and surface generation commands instead of explicit element definitions. The default value is false.

    mortar_contact_for_ties: bool, optional : Option to enable mortar contact for ties. When true, changes the key options for tie surfaces. The default value is false.

    write_thickness_file: bool, optional : Option to write a thickness file for spotweld fatigue analysis. If true, writes a file named [exportedFilename].cdb.thick.txt containing thickness information.

    contact_element_types: ContactElementTypeParams, optional : Parameters for choosing element types for contact surfaces in TIEs and CONTACT PAIRs.
