StreamOptions object

The StreamOptions object stores values and attributes associated with a stream plot. The StreamOptions object has no constructor command. Abaqus creates a defaultOdbDisplay.streamOptions member when you import the Visualization module. Abaqus creates a StreamOptions member when it creates the OdbDisplay object, using the values from defaultOdbDisplay.streamOptions. Abaqus creates the odbDisplay member when a viewport is created, using the values from defaultOdbDisplay.

StreamOptions objects are accessed in one of two ways:

  • The default stream options. These settings are used as defaults when other streamOptions members are created. These settings can be set to customize user preferences.

  • The stream options associated with a particular viewport.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

import visualization
session.defaultOdbDisplay.streamOptions
session.viewports[name].layers[name].odbDisplay.streamOptions
session.viewports[name].odbDisplay.streamOptions
