Shell
Create a shell dataset.
The Shell dataset requires a license for the Structural Mechanics Module.
Syntax
model.result().dataset().create(
<dtag>
,"Shell");
model.result().dataset(
<dtag>
).set(
property
,
<value>
);
model.result().dataset(
<dtag>
).run();
Description
model.result().dataset().create(
<dtag>
,"Shell"
)
creates a shell dataset. A shell dataset makes it possible to visualize the top and bottom surfaces of a shell in 3D.
The following properties are available:

The dataset this feature refers to. Only 3D and 2D axisymmetric datasets with one or more surfaces can be used.
bottomconst
4-by-1 real array
Array of bottom shell surface parameters: Local z-coordinate for thickness-dependent results and the x, y, and z coordinates of the reference point for moment computations.
distanceexpr
String
String with an expression for the displacement magnitude.
orientationexpr
3-by-1 string array
String array of expressions for the components of the displacement direction vector.
topconst
4-by-1 real array
Array of top shell surface parameters: Local z-coordinate for thickness-dependent results and the x, y, and z coordinates of the reference point for moment computations.
