The ShapePointSymmetry object defines a shape point symmetry geometric restriction.
The ShapePointSymmetry object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.
import optimization
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].geometricRestrictions[name]
This method creates a ShapePointSymmetry object.
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].ShapePointSymmetry
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
None or a DatumCsys object specifying the symmetry point represented as the origin of a local coordinate system. If csys=None, the global coordinate system is used. When this member is queried, it returns an Int. The default value is None.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the rule for determining the master node. Possible values are MAXIMUM and MINIMUM. The default value is MAXIMUM.
A Boolean specifying whether to ignore the geometric restriction in the first design cycle. The default value is ON.
A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 1-direction. The default value is 0.01.
A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 2-direction. The default value is 0.01.
A Float specifying the geometric tolerance in the 3-direction. The default value is 0.01.
Return value
A ShapePointSymmetry object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the ShapePointSymmetry object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the ShapePointSymmetry method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
The ShapePointSymmetry object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the ShapePointSymmetry method.
