The Equation object defines a linear multi-point constraint between a set of degrees of freedom.
The Equation object is derived from the Constraint object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].constraints[name]
This method creates an Equation object.
mdb.models[name].Equation
Required arguments
A String specifying the constraint repository key.
A sequence of (Float, String, Int, Int) sequences specifying a coefficient, Set name, degree of freedom, and coordinate system ID. The coordinate system ID is optional.
Optional arguments
Return value
An Equation object.
Exceptions
If terms does not contain more than one entry:
This method modifies the Equation object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the Equation method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
If terms does not contain more than one entry:
The Equation object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Equation method.
In addition, the Equation object has the following member:
A Boolean specifying whether the constraint is suppressed or not. The default value is OFF.
