III.2.1.3 Construction of Groups by association operations
The list of “SamcefDb” methods returning Groups defined by association is given below:
- “getElementsAssociatedToNodes”. (See description in “NastranDb” class.)
- “getElementsAssociatedToMaterials” returns a Group containing the list of elements
associated to the material(s) given as argument(s). The argument is an integer or an Array
of integers corresponding to the material IDs of the elements inserted in the list. Each
integer argument can be replaced by a String corresponding to the name of the material
defined in the DataBase.
- “getElementsAssociatedToPlies” returns a Group containing the list of elements
associated to the ply (plies) given as argument(s). The argument is an integer or an Array
of integers corresponding to the property IDs of the elements inserted in the list. The ply
Ids are either the ply identifiers defined with the “.PLI” command (Samcef model),.
- “getNodesAssociatedToElements”. (See description in “NastranDb” class.)
- “getNodesAssociatedToRbes”. (See description in “NastranDb” class.)
- “getRbesAssociatedToNodes”. (See description in “NastranDb” class.)
- “getElementsAssociatedToLaminates” returns a Group containing the list of elements
associated to the laminate(s) given as argument(s). The argument is an integer or an Array
of integers corresponding to the property IDs of the elements inserted in the list.
- “getElementsAssociatedToAttr1s” returns a Group containing the list of elements of
which the first attribute is included in the arguments. The argument is an integer or an
Array of integers corresponding to the first attributes of the elements inserted in the list.
- “getElementsAssociatedToAttr2s” returns a Group containing the list of elements of
which the second attribute is included in the arguments. The argument is an integer or an
Array of integers corresponding to the second attributes of the elements inserted in the
list.
