I.1.3.2 Enabling composite Results reading operations
Four singleton methods allow to enable or disable partially or totally the reading of composite layered
Results from finite element result files. These methods influence the behavior of methods defined in
the “specialized” versions of the “DataBase” class. (See Part III.) The four methods are:
- “enableLayeredResultsReading” enables the reading of layered laminate Results
(stresses, strains, failure indices...). This method has no argument. Actually, this method
is used to re-enable the reading of layered laminate Results as this reading is enabled by
default.
- “disableLayeredResultsReading” disables the reading of layered laminate Results
(inverse of the previous method). Again, the method has no argument.
- “enableSubLayersReading” enables some sub-layers for the reading of composite
layered Results from result files. The method has one argument: a String or an Array
of Strings chosen among “Bottom”, “Mid” and “Top”. Here again, as by default all the
sub-layers are enabled, the method is rather a “re-enabling” method.
- “disableSubLayersReading” disables some sub-layers for the reading of composite
layered Results from result files. The method has one argument: a String or an Array of
Strings chosen among “Bottom”, “Mid” and “Top”.
By default the reading of layered composite Results is enabled for all sub-layers. The disabling may help
to reduce the size of Results stored in specialized DataBases. Actually, the reading of composite
results is no longer mandatory as most composite results can be produced with the appropriate
methods of the “CLA” classes (Part II).
