The TempDisplacementDynamicsStep object is used to perform a dynamic coupled thermal-stress analysis using explicit integration.
The TempDisplacementDynamicsStep object is derived from the AnalysisStep object.
import step mdb.models[name].steps[name]
This method creates a TempDisplacementDynamicsStep object.
mdb.models[name].TempDisplacementDynamicsStep
Required arguments
A String specifying the repository key.
A String specifying the name of the previous step. The new step appears after this step in the list of analysis steps.
Optional arguments
A String specifying a description of the new step. The default value is an empty string.
A Float specifying the time period of the step. The default value is 1.0.
A Boolean specifying whether geometric nonlinearities should be accounted for during the step. The default value is OFF.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the time incrementation method to be used. Possible values are AUTOMATIC_GLOBAL, AUTOMATIC_EBE, FIXED_USER_DEFINED_INC, and FIXED_EBE. The default value is AUTOMATIC_GLOBAL.
None or a Float specifying the maximum time increment allowed. If there is no upper limit, maxIncrement=None. The default value is None.
A Float specifying the factor that is used to scale the time increment. This argument is required only when timeIncrementationMethod=AUTOMATIC_GLOBAL, AUTOMATIC_EBE, or FIXED_EBE. The default value is 1.0.
None or a Float specifying the user-defined time increment. The default value is None.
A MassScalingArray object specifying mass scaling controls. The default value is PREVIOUS_STEP.
A Float specifying the linear bulk viscosity parameter,
. The default value is 0.06.
A Float specifying the quadratic bulk viscosity parameter,
. The default value is 1.2.
A Boolean specifying whether to retain attributes from an existing step with the same name. The default value is False.
Return value
A TempDisplacementDynamicsStep object.
Exceptions
RangeError.
This method modifies the TempDisplacementDynamicsStep object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the TempDisplacementDynamicsStep method, except for the name, previous, and maintainAttributes arguments.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError.
