instancing_child

class ansys.systemcoupling.core.adaptor.api_25_2.instancing_child.instancing_child(name=None, parent=None)

Bases: Container

Define instancing for an interface side.

Available when cylindrical geometry instancing has been added to the data model.

RotationAxis controls how the axis of rotation is defined.

Properties

rotation_axisstr

UNDOCUMENTED

instances_in_full_circleint

Total number of instances (including the first instance) in a full 360 degree rotation of the participant mesh. This value includes the reference instance (with the participant mesh). All instances defined for the instancing object have identical angles.

instances_for_mappingint

Number of instances to be included in the mapping when instancing is applied.

Required when the number of instances to be used for mapping does not match the number of instances in a full circle. Default assumes a 360 degree rotation of the participant mesh. This value includes the reference instance (with the participant mesh).

reference_framestr

Reference frame that defines the orientation of the instancing.

Rotation will be around the z-axis of the reference frame, following the right-hand rule.

axisstr

Principal axis of rotation for instancing

axis_fromRealVectorType

Define the starting point of a user-defined axis.

axis_toRealVectorType

Define the end point of a user-defined axis.

rotational_offsetRealType

Offset (in radians) about the rotation axis for the first instance
