VIII.3.1 The “NastranDb” class

The “NastranDb” class stores a model and results corresponds to Nastran finite element solver. Methods specific to the NET assembly are:

• The “makeCopy” method that returns a copy of the database.
• Several iterator methods with or without argument: “iter_coordSysId”, “iter_elemId”, “iter_nodeId”, “iter_rbeId”, “iter_materialId”, “iter_propertyId”, “iter_nodeOfElement”, “iter_cornerNodeOfElement”. When these iterators have arguments, they are implemented with methods and not with properties.

The reader is referred to Chapter III.1 for the description of the other methods.
