BeadPattern (hwx.inspire.core)¶
Bead Pattern on supplied parts.
Bead patterns can be used to control the shapes of the beads. Beads are used to help meet specific design requirements such as stiffness when running a topography optimization on a surface. Use the Bead Patterns to create Linear, Circular, or Radial bead pattern tools.

Attribute Details¶
active : Bool¶
Returns or sets the object activeness.
Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents active too.
color : Color¶
The color assigned to the boundary condition.
connectionRadius : Double (units=”length”)¶
The search radius for the boundary condition.
connectionType : Enum (rigid, flexible)¶
The type of the connection. Valid choices are:
rigid
flexible
direction : Direction¶
The direction of vector the boundary condition.
distributed : Bool¶
Returns whether the applied boundary condition is distributed or not.
Boundary conditions applied across the entire feature area (for faces) or length (for edges) are distributed and at a single point boundary conditions are non-distributed.
features : Attribute¶
The list of features to which the boundary condition is applied.
localToPart : Bool¶
Returns or sets ‘Rotate with part’.
It makes boundary condition not to rotate or rotate along with its associated part.
location : Location (units=”length”)¶
The location of the boundary condition.
mode : Enum (direction, components)¶
Specifies the mode of the boundary condition.
Valid choices are:
direction
components
name : Attribute¶
Returns or sets the name of the object.
It can be any text string, including spaces, although it’s best to avoid using the following characters: ” ‘ * ? and $.
While these characters are allowed, they could create difficulties when you export the model to other applications.
part : Attribute¶
Returns the part on which the entity is applied graphically.
parts : Attribute¶
The list of parts on which the boundary condition is applied.
type : Int¶
set/get bead pattern type. Allowed types are 1(Linear), 2(Circular) and 3(Radial)
visible : Bool¶
Determines whether the boundary condition is visible or not.
Method Details¶
- classmethod getClass(cls, className)¶
Returns the class of the object.
It can be simple or qualified (with namespace). If the name is simple, we prepend the cls.namespace.
- param className
The class name.
- type className
Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]
- returns
The class for the specified className.
- rtype
Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]
- classmethod importLoads(cls, csvFile)¶
Imports boundary conditions to the active model from a csv file.
- param csvFile
Csv file name containing all the BC information.
- type csvFile
str
- returns
List of error msgs that happened during import of all the boundary conditions.
- rtype
list
- __new__(cls, parts, location, direction=(0, 0, 1), type=1, **kwds)¶
Create Bead patterns on supplied sheet parts.

Vector
- param **kwds
To set other attributes to the pattern. e.g.: color =”red”.
- returns
Return the created Bead Pattern.
- rtype
pat
- destroy(self)¶
Delete the object removing it from the model.
The object may come back due to an undo/redo.
- getAllChildren(self, type=None, **kwds)¶
Returns a list of all children that matches the specified type.
- param type
Filter to use to get the children based on object type.
- type type
list[Named]
- param **kwds
Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes of the object.
- returns
The list of children that satisfy the supplied filters.
- rtype
list[Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]]
- getChild(self, name=None, recursive=False, **kwds)¶
Returns the child of the object which matches the specified unique name.
- param name
The name of the child object.
- type name
str
- param recursive
Search all descendents.
- type recursive
bool
- param **kwds
Additional keyword arguments to match attributes of the object.
- returns
The child object which satisfies the specified filters.
- rtype
Named
- getChildren(self, type=None, recursive=False, sorted=False, **kwds)¶
Returns a list of children that is of the specified type.
- param type
Filter objects by class.

Get objects that reference this object through a Reference attribute.
- param recursive
- type recursive
bool
- param **kwds
Filter objects using isa.
- returns
set[Named]
- getReferences(self, recursive=False, **kwds)¶
Get objects this object references through a Reference attribute.
- param recursive

Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes.
- returns
True, if a match is found, otherwise False.
- rtype
bool
- modelPositions(self)¶
Forces all objects to return the original model positions instead of the current analysis positions.
Useful when defining draw methods on GeneralObjects where behaviour is different while animating.
- updatePosition(self, m44)¶
Sets the design space positions of all the inspire parts to their position in the current analysis frame.
