LayeredMaterial


	The LayeredMaterial dataset requires a license for the Composite Materials Module, AC/DC Module, or Heat Transfer Module.

Syntax

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"LayeredMaterial");

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).set(property, <value>);

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).setIndex(property, <value>, <index>);

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).selection(...);

Description

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"LayeredMaterial") creates a layered material dataset.

Layered material datasets refer to another dataset and are used to create a volume or domain (3D) dataset corresponding to a layered shell physics defined using a surface or boundary (2D) geometry and a built-in extra dimension (1D) geometry. This dataset is used to plot or evaluate the quantities on a domain level or its lower dimensions.

The following properties are available:

Table 7-52: Valid Property/Value Pairs for LayeredShell Datasets
Name	Value	Default	Description
data	none \| dataset name	None	The dataset that this dataset refers to.
evaluatein	meshnodes \| interfaces \| layermidplanes	meshnodes	The location of layers to evaluate in: mesh nodes, interfaces, or layer midplanes.
resolution	Integer 1–10	1	Refinement level (1–10) when evaluatein is set to meshnodes.
scale	scalar	1	Scale factor for the layers.
seplevels	true \| false	false	Separate the levels to create slices on the mesh nodes in the through-thickness direction when evaluatein is set to meshnodes.

When evaluatein is set to meshnodes or layermidplanes, you can use the setIndex selection method to specify the layers to include with the property layerselection. Likewise, when evaluatein is set to interfaces, you can use the setIndex selection method to specify the layer interfaces to include with the property interfaceselection. See setIndex() for more information about that method.
