class ansys.meshing.prime.ExportLSDynaKeywordFileParams(model=None, material_properties=None, database_keywords=None, output_format=None, analysis_type=None, compute_spotweld_thickness=None, write_thickness_file=None, output_controls_d3_part=None, get_zone_mesh_results=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)

Parameters to control LS-DYNA keyword file export settings.

Parameters:

model: Model

Model to create a ExportLSDynaKeywordFileParams object with default parameters.

material_properties: str, optional

Materials in LS-DYNA format to be added to the file.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

database_keywords: str, optional

Database keywords in LS-DYNA format to be added to the file.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

output_format: LSDynaFileFormatType, optional

Output file format used to write LS-DYNA file.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

analysis_type: LSDynaAnalysisType, optional

Option to specify LS-DYNA analysis type.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

compute_spotweld_thickness: bool, optional

Option to compute spot weld thickness using shell thickness when set to true. Else, use search radius as thickness.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

write_thickness_file: bool, optional

Option to write a thickness file for spotweld fatigue analysis. If true, writes a file named [exportedFilename].k.thick.txt containing thickness information.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

output_controls_d3_part: bool, optional

Option to create D3Part card in output controls.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

get_zone_mesh_results: bool, optional

Option to collect and return zone-wise mesh information for elements in the exported model.
This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

json_data: dict, optional

JSON dictionary to create a ExportLSDynaKeywordFileParams object with provided parameters.
