The Growth object defines a growth geometric restriction.
The Growth object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.
import optimization
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].geometricRestrictions[name]
This method creates a Growth object.
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].Growth
Required arguments
A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key.
A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied. When used with a TopologyTask, there is no default value. When used with a ShapeTask, the default value is MODEL.
Optional arguments
A Float specifying the maximum optimization displacement in the growth direction. Either growth or shrink or both must be specified. The default value is 0.0.
A Boolean specifying whether to ignore the geometric restriction in the first design cycle. The default value is ON.
A Float specifying the maximum optimization displacement in the shrink direction. Either growth or shrink or both must be specified The default value is 0.0.
Return value
A Growth object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the Growth object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the Growth method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
The Growth object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Growth method.
