Creates a new section cut.

• Parameters:

  • name: The name of the section cut.
  • id: The ID of the section cut.
  • active: Whether the section cut is active.
  • origin: Origin of the section cut plane.
  • normal: Normal of the section cut plane.
  • in_plane_reference_direction1: Local x-direction of the section cut.
  • scale_factor: Scale factor for the thicknesses.
  • core_scale_factor: Scale factor for core materials.
  • intersection_type: Intersection type for the wireframe section cut.
  • section_cut_type: Ply resolution.
  • extrusion_type: Type of representation and extrusion.
  • use_default_tolerance: Whether to use the default tolerance. Default is 0.1% of the averaged element size.
  • tolerance: Tolerance used to generate the surface section cut.
  • use_default_lut_settings: Use default interpolation properties for the sweep based extrusion.
  • search_radius: Search radius of the interpolation algorithm.
  • number_of_interpolation_points: Number of points of the interpolation algorithm.
  • scope_entire_model: Whether to scope the section cut to the entire model, or only selected element sets.
  • scope_element_sets: Element sets to which the section cut is scoped, if scope_entire_model=False.
  • Return: The new section cut object.
