GasketSection(...)
This method creates a GasketSection object.
Path
mdb.models[name].GasketSection session.odbs[name].GasketSection
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the repository key.
- material
A String specifying the name of the material of which the gasket is made or material that defines gasket behavior.
Optional arguments
- crossSection
A Float specifying the cross-sectional area, width, or out-of-plane thickness, if applicable, depending on the gasket element type. The default value is 1.0.
- initialGap
A Float specifying the initial gap. The default value is 0.0.
- initialThickness
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a Float specifying the initial gasket thickness. If DEFAULT is specified, the initial thickness is determined using nodal coordinates. The default value is DEFAULT.
- initialVoid
A Float specifying the initial void. The default value is 0.0.
- stabilizationStiffness
The SymbolicConstant DEFAULT or a Float specifying the default stabilization stiffness used in all but link elements to stabilize gasket elements that are not supported at all nodes, such as those that extend outside neighboring components. If DEFAULT is specified, a value is used equal to 10–9 times the initial compressive stiffness in the thickness direction. The default value is DEFAULT.
Return value
A GasketSection object.
Exceptions
InvalidNameError and ValueError.
setValues(...)
This method modifies the GasketSection object.
Required arguments
None.
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the GasketSection method, except for the name argument.
Return value
None.
Exceptions
ValueError.
Members
The GasketSection object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the GasketSection method.
