The BeadGrowth object defines a growth geometric restriction.
The BeadGrowth object is derived from the GeometricRestriction object.
import optimization
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].geometricRestrictions[name]
This method creates a BeadGrowth object.
mdb.models[name].optimizationTasks[name].BeadGrowth
Required arguments
A String specifying the geometric restriction repository key.
A Region object specifying the region to which the geometric restriction is applied.
Optional arguments
A Float specifying the maximum optimization displacement in the growth direction. Either beadGrowth or shrink or both must be specified. The default value is 0.0.
A Float specifying the maximum optimization displacement in the shrink direction. Either beadGrowth or shrink or both must be specified The default value is 0.0.
Return value
A BeadGrowth object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the BeadGrowth object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the BeadGrowth method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
The BeadGrowth object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the BeadGrowth method.
