The InitializationAssignment object stores the contact initialization assignment definition for domain pairs in a ContactStd object. The InitializationAssignment object has no constructor or members.
import interaction mdb.models[name].interactions[name].initializationAssignments
This method allows modification of contact initialization assignments to domain pairs already defined in a given step.
Required arguments
A String specifying the name of the step in which the contact initialization assignments are to be modified.
An Int specifying the position of the contact initialization assignment whose value is to be modified.
A String specifying the value of the contact initialization to be assigned to the domain pair whose index is referenced.
Optional arguments
Return value
Exceptions
This method allows addition of contact initialization assignments to new domain pairs in a given step.
Required arguments
A String specifying the name of the step in which new contact initialization assignments are to be defined.
A sequence of tuples specifying the initializations assigned to each surface pair. Each tuple contains three entries:
A region object or the SymbolicConstant GLOBAL.
A region object or the SymbolicConstant SELF.
A String specifying a StdInitialization object associated with this pair of regions.
