CohesiveSection(...)
This method creates a CohesiveSection object.
Path
mdb.models[name].CohesiveSection session.odbs[name].CohesiveSection
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the repository key.
- response
A SymbolicConstant specifying the geometric assumption that defines the constitutive behavior of the cohesive elements. Possible values are TRACTION_SEPARATION, CONTINUUM, and GASKET.
- material
A String specifying the name of the material.
Optional arguments
- initialThicknessType
A SymbolicConstant specifying the method used to compute the initial thickness. Possible values are:
SOLVER_DEFAULT, specifying that Abaqus will use the analysis product default
GEOMETRY, specifying that Abaqus will compute the thickness from the nodal coordinates of the elements.
SPECIFY, specifying that Abaqus will use the value given for initialThickness
The default value is SOLVER_DEFAULT.
- initialThickness
A Float specifying the initial thickness for the section. The initialThickness argument applies only when initialThicknessType=SPECIFY. The default value is 1.0.
- outOfPlaneThickness
None or a Float specifying the out-of-plane thickness for the section. The default value is None.
Return value
A CohesiveSection object.
Exceptions
RangeError and InvalidNameError.
setValues(...)
This method modifies the CohesiveSection object.
Required arguments
None.
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the CohesiveSection method, except for the name argument.
Return value
None.
Exceptions
RangeError.
Members
The CohesiveSection object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the CohesiveSection method.
