III.1.1.7 Construction of Groups by associations
The list of “NastranDb” methods returning Groups defined by association follows:
- “getElementsAssociatedToNodes” returns a Group containing the list of elements
associated to the nodes of the Group argument.
- “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.
- “getElementsAssociatedToProperties” returns a Group containing the list of elements
associated to the property (properties) 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.
- “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 ply IDs of the elements inserted in the list. The ply Ids are
the global ply identifiers referenced by PCOMPG Nastran data cards (Nastran model).
- “getNodesAssociatedToElements” returns a Group containing the list of nodes associated
to the elements of the Group argument.
- “getNodesAssociatedToRbes” returns a Group containing the list of nodes associated to
the rigid body elements of the Group argument.
- “getRbesAssociatedToNodes” returns a Group containing the list of rigid body elements
associated to the nodes of the Group argument.
