Analysis.update_pcb_modeling_props(project, cca_names, analyses)#

Update FEA PCB Modeling properties for one or more CCAs.

Available Since: 2023R2

Parameters:

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

  • cca_names (list[str]) – list: Names of the CCAs to be used for the analysis.

  • analyses (list[tuple[bool | float | str | UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestAnalysisType | UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestPcbModelType | UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestPcbMaterialModel | ElementOrder, ...]]) –

    list[tuple[bool | float | str | UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestAnalysisType | UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestPcbModelType | UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestPcbMaterialModel | ElementOrder, …]]: Elements consisting of the following properties:

      The PCB modeling PCB model type.

    • pcb_max_materials: Optional[int]

      The number of PCB materials for Uniform Elements and Layered Elements PCB model types. Not applicable if PCB model is Uniform or Layered.

    • pcb_elem_order: ElementOrder

      The element order for PCB elements.

    • pcb_max_edge_length: float

      The maximum mesh size for PCB elements.

    • pcb_max_edge_length_units: str

    • quads_preferred: bool

      Indicates that the meshing engine should attempt to generate quad-shaped elements when creating the mesh.

Return type:

int

Returns:

:
int

Status code of the response. 0 for success.
