NodeSet(...)
This method creates a node set from an array of OdbMeshNode objects (for part instance-level sets) or from a sequence of arrays of OdbMeshNode objects (for assembly-level sets).
Path
session.odbs[name].parts[name].NodeSet
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].NodeSet
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.NodeSet
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- nodes
A sequence of OdbMeshNode objects. For example, for a part:
nodes=part1.nodes[1:5]
For an assembly:
nodes=(instance1.nodes[6:7], instance2.nodes[1:5])
Optional arguments
None.
Return value
An OdbSet object.
Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
NodeSetFromNodeLabels(...)
This method creates a node set from a sequence of node labels.
Path
session.odbs[name].parts[name].NodeSetFromNodeLabels
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].NodeSetFromNodeLabels
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.NodeSetFromNodeLabels
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- nodeLabels
A sequence of node labels. A node label is a sequence of Int node identifiers. For example, for a part:
nodeLabels=(2,3,5,7)
For an assembly:
nodeLabels=(('Instance-1', (2,3,5,7)), ('Instance-2', (1,2,3)))
Optional arguments
None.
Return value
An OdbSet object.
Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
ElementSet(...)
This method creates an element set from an array of OdbMeshElement objects (for part instance-level sets) or from a sequence of arrays of OdbMeshElement objects (for assembly-level sets).
Path
session.odbs[name].parts[name].ElementSet
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].ElementSet
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- elements
A sequence of OdbMeshElement objects. For example, for a part:
elements=instance1.elements[1:5]
For an assembly:
elements=(instance1.elements[1:5], instance2.elements[1:5])
Optional arguments
None.
Return value
An OdbSet object.
Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
ElementSetFromElementLabels(...)
This method creates an element set from a sequence of element labels.
Path
session.odbs[name].parts[name].ElementSetFromElementLabels
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].ElementSetFromElementLabels
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.ElementSetFromElementLabels
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- elementLabels
A sequence of element labels. An element label is a sequence of Int element identifiers. For example, for a part:
elementLabels=(2,3,5,7)
For an assembly:
elementLabels=(('Instance-1', (2,3,5,7)), ('Instance-2', (1,2,3)))
Optional arguments
None.
Return value
An OdbSet object.
Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
MeshSurface(...)
This method creates a surface from the element and side identifiers for the assembly.
Path
session.odbs[name].parts[name].MeshSurface
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].MeshSurface
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.MeshSurface
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- meshSurfaces
A sequence of sequences. Each sequence consists of an element sequence and a side identifier. The possible side identifiers depend on the type of element, as described in the following table:
Sequence of elements Side identifiers Solid elements FACE1, FACE2, FACE3, FACE4, FACE5, FACE6 Three-dimensional shell elements SIDE1, SIDE2 Two-dimensional elements FACE1, FACE2, FACE3, FACE4 Wire elements END, END2 For example:
side1Elements=instance1.elements[217:218] side2Elements=instance2.elements[100:105] assembly.MeshSurface(name='Surf-1', meshSurfaces=((side1Elems,SIDE1), (side2Elems,SIDE2)))
Optional arguments
None.
Return value
An OdbSet object.
Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
MeshSurfaceFromElsets(...)
This method creates a mesh surface from a sequence of element sets.
Path
session.odbs[name].parts[name].MeshSurfaceFromElsets
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].MeshSurfaceFromElsets
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.MeshSurfaceFromElsets
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- elementSetSeq
A sequence of element sets. For example,
elementSetSeq=((elset1,SIDE1),(elset2,SIDE2))
where elset1=session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.elementSets['Clutch'] and SIDE1 and SIDE2 indicate the side of the element set.
Optional arguments
None.
Return value
An OdbSet object.
Exceptions
InvalidNameError.
MeshSurfaceFromLabels(...)
This method creates a mesh surface from a sequence of surface labels.
Path
session.odbs[name].parts[name].MeshSurfaceFromLabels
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.instances[name].MeshSurfaceFromLabels
session.odbs[name].rootAssembly.MeshSurfaceFromLabels
Required arguments
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- surfaceLabels
A sequence of surface labels. For example,
surfaceLabels=(('Instance-1', ((10, FACE1), (11, FACE2))), ('Instance-2', ((10, FACE3), (12, FACE4))))where 10 is an element number and FACE1 indicates the side of the element.
Optional arguments
None.

InvalidNameError.
Members
The OdbSet object can have the following members:
- name
A String specifying the name of the set and the repository key.
- instanceNames
A tuple of Strings specifying the namespaces for the nodes, elements, and faces; None if the set is on a Part or an OdbInstance object.
- nodes
An OdbMeshNodeArray object specifying the nodes of an OdbSet. If a set spans more than one part instance, this member is a sequence of sequences for each part instance.
- elements
An OdbMeshElementArray object specifying the elements of an OdbSet. If a set spans more than one part instance, this member is a sequence of sequences for each part instance.
- faces
A tuple of SymbolicConstants specifying the element face. If a set spans more than one part instance, this member is a sequence of sequences for each part instance.
