Properties¶

property Component.componentType: constant¶

The type of component stored in the user defined binary component. Either Component.NODE, Component.BEAM, Component.SOLID_SHELL_TSHELL or Component.OTHER

property Component.dataType: constant¶

The type of data stored in the user defined binary component. Either Component.SCALAR, Component.TENSOR or Component.VECTOR

property Component.dispose: boolean¶

If .ubd files for components will be disposed of (deleted) when a model is closed or D3PLOT exits or not. The default is not to delete files

property Component.location: constant | string¶

Where the user defined binary component will be written to disk. This can be an absolute or relative pathname. If a relative path is used, this is relative to the LS-DYNA results files. This is done by giving a pathname beginning with “JOBDIR”. For example “JOBDIR/..” refers to the parent directory where the results files are. The default, if location is None, is for .ubd files to be written in the same directory as the LS-DYNA output files. Alternatively, the data can just be kept in memory and not written to disk by using Component.IN_CORE

property Component.name: string¶

The name for the user defined binary component

Constructor¶

location:

(constant|string|${null}) Location to store the .ubd files. See location for details. The default, if location is None, is for .ubd files to be written in the same directory as the LS-DYNA output files. This default can be changed with the d3plot*ubd_file_location preference
