Element Convection Boundary

A nested class within HoH.Convection used to define convection boundary.

Constructor

Assigns a constant convection coefficient.

HoH.Convection.Boundary(elmID:int,faceID:int,conv_coeff_func:str='',amb_temp_func:str='',group:str='',id:int=None)

Parameters

  • elmID: Element ID of solid element.
  • faceID: Face ID of the convection surface.
  • conv_coeff_func: Convection Coefficient function name.
  • amb_temp_func: Ambient Temp function name
  • group: Boundary group name
  • id: Manually assign an ID. If None, ID will be auto-assigned.

Object Attributes

  • ELM (int): Element ID of solid element
  • FACE (int): Face ID of the convection surface
  • CONV_FUNC (str): Convection Coefficient function name
  • AMB_FUNC (str): Ambient Temp function name
  • GROUP (str): Boundary group name

Methods

bySelectedNodes

HoH.Convection.Boundary.bySelectedNodes(elmID:int,faceID:int,conv_coeff_func:str='',amb_temp_func:str='',group:str='',id:int=None)

Automatically get face IDs based on entered node id list.

Parameters

  • elmID: Element ID of solid element.
  • faceID: Face ID of the convection surface.
  • conv_coeff_func: Convection Coefficient function name.
  • amb_temp_func: Ambient Temp function name
  • group: Boundary group name
  • id: Manually assign an ID. If None, ID will be auto-assigned.

json

Generates the properly formatted JSON payload for MidasAPI.

HoH.Convection.Boundary(1,1,'CONV_FN','AMB_FN','BG_GROUP')
print(HoH.Convection.Boundary.json())
# Output:
# {'Assign': {1: {'ITEMS': [{'ID': 1, 'GROUP_NAME': 'BG_GROUP', 'FACE_NO': 1, 'CCFC_NAME': 'CONV_FN', 'ETFC_NAME': 'AMB_FN'}]}}}

create

Sends the PUT request to create all stored Convection Coefficient Boundary in Civil NX.

HoH.Convection.Boundary.create()

get

Retrieves the Convection Coefficient Boundary configuration from Civil NX.

print(HoH.Convection.Boundary.get())

sync

Fetches data from Civil NX and reconstructs the local class instances.

HoH.Convection.Boundary.sync()

delete

Deletes all Convection Coefficient Boundary objects from both Python and Civil NX.

HoH.Convection.Boundary.delete()

clear

Clears all locally stored Convection Coefficient Boundary objects without affecting the Civil NX database.

HoH.Convection.Boundary.clear()
