24.28 ConnectorMoment object

The ConnectorMoment object stores the data for a connector moment.

The ConnectorMoment object is derived from the Load object.

Access

import load
mdb.models[name].loads[name]

24.28.1 ConnectorMoment(...)

This method creates a ConnectorMoment object.

Path

mdb.models[name].ConnectorMoment

Required arguments

name

A String specifying the load repository key.

createStepName

A String specifying the name of the step in which the load is created.

connectors

A sequence of Strings specifying the names of the connectors which the load is applied.

Optional arguments

A Float or a Complex specifying the moment component in the connector's local 4-direction.

A Float or a Complex specifying the moment component in the connector's local 5-direction.

A Float or a Complex specifying the moment component in the connector's local 6-direction.

amplitude

A String or the SymbolicConstant UNSET specifying the name of the amplitude reference. UNSET should be used if the load has no amplitude reference. The default value is UNSET. You should provide the amplitude argument only if it is valid for the specified step.

Return value

A ConnectorMoment object.

Exceptions

None.

24.28.2 setValues(...)

This method modifies the data for an existing ConnectorMoment object in the step where it is created.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the ConnectorMoment method, except for the name and createStepName arguments.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.

24.28.3 setValuesInStep(...)

This method modifies the propagating data for an existing ConnectorMoment object in the specified step.

Required argument

stepName

A String specifying the name of the step in which the load is modified.

Optional arguments

A Float, a Complex, or a SymbolicConstant specifying the moment component in the connector's local 4-direction. Possible values for the SymbolicConstant are UNCHANGED and FREED. UNCHANGED should be used if the load component is propagated from the previous static analysis step. Use FREED to remove a previously defined load component.

A Float, a Complex, or a SymbolicConstant specifying the moment component in the connector's local 5-direction. Possible values for the SymbolicConstant are UNCHANGED and FREED. UNCHANGED should be used if the load component is propagated from the previous static analysis step. Use FREED to remove a previously defined load component.

A Float, a Complex, or a SymbolicConstant specifying the moment component in the connector's local 6-direction. Possible values for the SymbolicConstant are UNCHANGED and FREED. UNCHANGED should be used if the load component is propagated from the previous static analysis step. Use FREED to remove a previously defined load component.

amplitude

A String or a SymbolicConstant specifying the name of the amplitude reference. Possible values for the SymbolicConstant are UNCHANGED and FREED. UNCHANGED should be used if the amplitude is propagated from the previous static analysis step. FREED should be used if the load is changed to have no amplitude reference. You should provide the amplitude argument only if it is valid for the specified step.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.

24.28.4 Members

The ConnectorMoment object can have the following members:

name

A String specifying the load repository key.

connectors

A tuple of Strings specifying the names of the connectors which the load is applied.

region

A Region object specifying the region to which the load is applied.
