Description
Absorbs HyperMesh entities. Loads are absorbed using a tabular segregation interface. Valid groups and elements are absorbed into constraints. Properties which are supported for absorption are converted to its relative entities. In Abaqus, nonstructural mass properties are mapped to solvermass entity.
Inputs
- entity_type
- The target entity type. Currently supported entity types are loads, constraints, and properties.
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the entities to absorb. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- value_rule
- Specifies whether value-based segregation is desired and, if so, the type of tolerance provided (valid for loads):
- tolerance
- The tolerance value when value_rule is non-zero. Valid for loads.
- location_unit_rule
- Specifies whether location unit-based segregation is desired and, if so, the type of entities considered (valid for loads):
- topology_rule
- Specifies whether topology-based segregation is desired and, if so, the type of topologies considered (valid for loads):
- face_angle
- The face angle value when topology_rule specifies the mesh edge option. Valid for loads.
- edge_angle
- The edge angle value when topology_rule specifies the mesh edge option. Valid for loads.
- preseve_parameters
- 0 - Do not preserve
- max_cluster_count
- The maximum number of clusters allowed per entity instance. Valid for loads.
