The StdXplCosimulation object defines co-simulation behavior between Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit.
The StdXplCosimulation object is derived from the Interaction object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].interactions[name]
This method creates a StdXplCosimulation object.
mdb.models[name].StdXplCosimulation
Required arguments
A String specifying the repository key.
A String specifying the name of the step in which the StdXplCosimulation object is created.
A Region object specifying the import and export region upon which the co-simulation exchanges data with the coupled analysis program.
Optional arguments
A SymbolicConstant specifying whether the analysis programs use the same time increments or one is allowed to use more time increments than the other before exchanging data. Possible values are ALLOW_SUBCYCLING and LOCKSTEP. The default value is ALLOW_SUBCYCLING.
A Float specifying the size of the increments to be used by Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit. The default value is 0.0.
A SymbolicConstant specifying whether the increment size is the analysis default or a supplied variable. Possible values are DEFAULT and SPECIFIED. The default value is DEFAULT.
Return value
A StdXplCosimulation object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the StdXplCosimulation object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the StdXplCosimulation method, except for the name and createStepName arguments.
Return value
Exceptions
The StdXplCosimulation object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the StdXplCosimulation method.
