create_interface_layer

ModelingGroup.create_interface_layer(name=None, id=None, global_ply_nr=None, oriented_selection_sets=None, open_area_sets=None, active=True)​

Create an iterface layer.

  • Parameters:
    • name: Name of the new iterface layer.
    • id: Optional ID of the new iterface layer.
    • global_ply_nr: Ply number for stacking sequence.
    • oriented_selection_sets: Oriented selection set for the expansion of the iterface layer.
    • open_area_sets: Defines the initial crack of a VCCT layer (optional).
    • active: Iterface layer active (default: True).
  • Returns: The created iterface layer.
  • Example: 
    >>> oes_1 = model.oriented_selection_sets['OrientedSelectionSet.1']
    >>> mpg = model.modeling_groups['PlyGroup.1']
    >>> mp_1 = mpg.create_interface_layer( name='InterfaceLayer.1',
                                      global_ply_nr=0,
                                      oriented_selection_sets=(oes_1,),
                                      active=True)
