36.3.1 CombinedTermDesignResponse(...)

This method creates a CombinedTermDesignResponse object.

Path
          mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].CombinedTermDesignResponse

Required arguments

name

A String specifying the design response repository key.

terms

A sequence of Strings specifying the names of the design responses to combine.

Optional arguments

filterMaxRadius

None or a sequence of Floats specifying the maximum radius of influence used when method is FILTER. The default value is None.

filterExponent

A Float specifying the exponent used when method is FILTER. The default value is 1.0.

filterRadiusReduction

A Float specifying the reduction of the radius depending on surface bending, used when method is FILTER. The default value is 0.2.

highCutOff

None or a sequence of Floats specifying the upper bound of the vector value used when method is CUT_OFF. All values greater than the highCutOff are set to the highCutOff value. The default value is None.

lowCutOff

A Float specifying the lower bound of the vector value used when method is CUT_OFF. All values less than the lowCutOff are treated as 0. The default value is 0.0.

method

  • NTH_POWER

  • NTH_ROOT

  • SIGN

  • SINE

  • SQUARE_ROOT

  • SUBTRACT

  • TANGENT

  • WEIGHTED_ADD

The default value is ADD.

weights

A sequence of Floats specifying the weights to apply to the list of design responses used when method is WEIGHTED_ADD. The default value is an empty sequence.

Return value

A CombinedTermDesignResponse object.

Exceptions

None.


36.3.2 setValues(...)

This method modifies the CombinedTermDesignResponse object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the CombinedTermDesignResponse method, except for the name argument.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.
