The TopologyPlanarSymmetry object defines a topology planar symmetry geometric restriction.
The TopologyPlanarSymmetry object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.
import optimization
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].geometricRestrictions[name]
This method creates a TopologyPlanarSymmetry object.
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].TopologyPlanarSymmetry
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 SymbolicConstant specifying the axis of symmetry. Possible values are AXIS_1, AXIS_2, and AXIS_3. The default value is AXIS_1.
None or a DatumCsys object specifying the 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 Boolean specifying whether to ignore frozen areas. The default value is OFF.
Return value
A TopologyPlanarSymmetry object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the TopologyPlanarSymmetry object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the TopologyPlanarSymmetry method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
The TopologyPlanarSymmetry object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the TopologyPlanarSymmetry method.
