The FluidCavity object defines a surface-based cavity.
The FluidCavity object is derived from the Interaction object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].interactions[name]
This method creates an FluidCavity object.
mdb.models[name].FluidCavity
Required arguments
A String specifying the repository key.
A String specifying the name of the step in which the FluidCavity object is created.
A Region object specifying the fluid cavity reference point.
A Region object specifying the surface forming the boundary of the fluid cavity.
A String specifying the FluidCavityProperty object associated with this interaction.
Optional arguments
A Float specifying the magnitude of the ambient pressure. The default value is 0.0.
A Float specifying the out-of-plane thickness of the surface for two-dimensional models. This argument is valid only when using two-dimensional models. The default value is 1.0.
A Boolean specifying whether adiabatic behavior is assumed for the ideal gas. This argument is valid only when interactionProperty specifies a pneumatic definition. The default value is OFF.
A Boolean specifying whether the analysis will check the consistency of the surface normals. The default value is ON.
Return value
A FluidCavity object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the FluidCavity object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the FluidCavity method, except for the name and createStepName arguments.
Return value
Exceptions
The FluidCavity object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the FluidCavity method.
