The ContactPropertyAssignment object stores the contact property assignment definition for domain pairs in ContactExp and ContactStd objects. The ContactPropertyAssignment object has no constructor or members.
import interaction mdb.models[name].interactions[name].contactPropertyAssignments
This method allows modification of contact property assignments to domain pairs already defined in a given step.
Required arguments
A String specifying the name of the step in which the contact property assignments are to be modified.
An Int specifying the position of the contact property assignment whose value is to be modified.
A String specifying the value of the contact property to be assigned to the domain pair whose index is referenced.
Optional arguments
Return value
Exceptions
This method allows addition of contact property assignments to new domain pairs in a given step.
Required arguments
A String specifying the name of the step in which new contact property assignments are to be defined.
A sequence of tuples specifying the properties assigned to each surface pair. Each tuple contains three entries:
A region object or the SymbolicConstant WHOLE_DOMAIN.
A region object or the SymbolicConstant SELF. When used with ContactExp objects, this parameter can also be a string that references an Eulerian material surface.
A String specifying a ContactProperty object associated with this pair of regions.
