Lifecycle.add_harmonic_event(project, phase_name, event_name, duration, duration_units, num_of_cycles, cycle_type, sweep_rate, orientation, profile_type, load_direction, description='')#

Add a harmonic event to a life cycle phase.

Available Since: 2021R1

Parameters:

  • project (str) – Name of the Sherlock project.

  • phase_name (str) – Name of the life cycle phase to add the harmonic event to.

  • event_name (str) – Name of the harmonic event.

  • duration (float) – Event duration length.

  • duration_units (str) – Event duration units. Options are "ms", "sec", "min", "hr", "day", and "year".

  • num_of_cycles (float) – Number of cycles for the harmonic event.

  • cycle_type (str) – Cycle type. Options are "COUNT", "DUTY_CYCLE", "PER_YEAR", "PER_DAY", "PER_HOUR", "PER_MIN", and "PER_SEC".

  • sweep_rate (float) – Sweep rate for the harmonic event.

  • orientation (str) – PCB orientation in the format of "azimuth, elevation". For example, "30,15".

  • profile_type (str) – Profile type of the harmonic load. Options are "Uniaxial" and "Triaxial".

  • load_direction (str) – Load direction in the format of "x,y,z". For example, "0,0,1".

  • description (str, optional) – Description of the harmonic event. The default is "".

Returns:

Status code of the response. 0 for success.

Return type:

int
