Model.export_FEA_model(project, cca_name, export_file, analysis, drill_hole_parameters, detect_lead_modeling, lead_model_parameters, display_model, clear_FEA_database, use_FEA_model_id, coordinate_units)#

Export a FEA model.

Parameters:

project: str

Name of the Sherlock project.

cca_name: str

Name of the CCA.

export_file: str

Full path for saving exported files to. The file extension must be .wbjn.

analysis: str

The type of analysis that is being exported. Valid values are NaturalFreq, HarmonicVibe, ICTAnalysis, MechanicalShock or RandomVibe.

drill_hole_parameters: list[dict[str, str | Measurement]]

List of the drill hole parameters consisting of these properties:

• drill_hole_modeling: str

  The status of the drill hole modeling feature. If enabled, automatically enable drill hole modeling. Valid values are ENABLED/enabled or DISABLED/disabled.

• min_hole_diameter: MinHoleDiameter

  The properties of the minimum hole diameter.

• max_edge_length: MaxEdgeLength

  The properties of the maximum edge length.

detect_lead_modeling: str

The status of the detect lead modeling feature. If enabled, automatically enable lead modeling if any part has lead geometry defined. Valid values are ENABLED or DISABLED.

lead_model_parameters: list[dict[str, int | str | Measurement]]

List of the lead model parameters consisting of these properties:

• lead_modeling: str

  The status of the lead modeling feature. If enabled, automatically enable lead modeling. Valid values are ENABLED or DISABLED.

• lead_element_order: str

  The type of the element order. Valid values are First Order (Linear), Second Order (Quadratic), or Solid Shell.

• max_mesh_size: MaxMeshSize

  The properties of the maximum mesh size.

• vertical_mesh_size: VerticalMeshSize

  The properties of the vertical mesh size.

• thicknessCount: int, optional

  The number of elements through the lead thickness that will be created per lead.

  The default value is 3 and the maximum is 5. Only used when the advanced lead mesh setting is enabled.

• aspectRatio: int, optional

  The aspect ratio is multiplied by the lead thickness divided by the through thickness count to give the lead element height. The default value is 2 and the maximum is 10. Only used when the advanced lead mesh setting is enabled.

display_model: bool

Whether to display the model after export.

clear_FEA_database: bool

Whether to clear FEA database before defining model.

use_FEA_model_id: bool

Whether to use FEA model ID.

coordinate_units: str

Units of the model coordinates to use when exporting a model.

Returns:

:

int

Status code of the response. 0 for success.

Return type:

int
