LayeredShell
Create a layered shell data set.
The LayeredShell data set requires a license for the Composite Materials Module, AC/DC Module, or Heat Transfer Module.
Syntax
model.result().dataset().create(
<dtag>
,"LayeredShell");
model.result().dataset(
<dtag>
).set(
property
,
<value>
);
model.result().dataset(
<dtag>
).selection(...);
Description
model.result().dataset().create(
<dtag>
,"LayeredShell")
creates a layered shell data set.
Layered shell data sets refer to another data set and are used to create a volume or domain (3D) data set corresponding to a layered shell physics defined using a surface or boundary (2D) geometry and a built-in extra dimension (1D) geometry. This data set is used to plot or evaluate the quantities on a domain level or its lower dimensions. This data set is called Layered Material in the Model Builder.
The following properties are available:
