create_stackup

MaterialData.create_stackup(name, id=None, fabrics=None, area_price=0.0, symmetry='No Symmetry', layup_sequence='Top-Down', drop_off_material_handling='Global', cut_off_material_handling='Computed', drop_off_material=None, cut_off_material=None, draping_material_model='woven', draping_ud_coefficient=0.0)​

Create a new stackup.

  • Parameters:
    • name: Name for the stackup.
    • fabrics: Fabrics of the stackup.
    • area_price: Area price of the stackup.
    • symmetry: Symmetry of the stackup. Available options: No Symmetry, Even Symmetry, and Odd Symmetry.
    • layup_sequence: Layup sequence of the stackup. Available options: Top-Down and Bottom-Up.
    • drop_off_material_handling: Type defining how drop-off material is used in drop-off areas of the stackup.
    • cut_off_material_handling: Type defining how cut-off material is used in cut-off areas of the stackup.
    • drop_off_material: Material to use for Custom drop-off material handling.
    • cut_off_material: Material to use for Custom cut-off material handling.
    • draping_material_model: Material model for draping, either woven or unidirectional.
    • draping_ud_coefficient: Coefficient for the unidirectional draping material model.
  • Returns: The created stackup.
  • Examples: 
    >>> material_data = db.models['beam'].material_data
    >>> stackup_1 = material_data.create_stackup(name='Stackup.1', fabrics=(material_data.fabrics['Fabric.1'],), draping1=0.3, draping2=0.7)
