class ansys.dyna.core.pre.dynasale.DynaSALE

Bases: ansys.dyna.core.pre.dynabase.DynaBase

Sets up the S-ALE simulation process.

set_termination(endtime)

Set the time for ending the simulation.

Parameters:

endtimefloat

Time for ending the simulation.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.

set_output_interval(database_plot_interval)

Request binary output.

Parameters:

database_plot_intervalfloat

Time interval between output states.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.

set_analysis_type(num_of_cycle=1, method=AdvectionMethod.DONOR_CELL_WITH_HALF_INDEX_SHIFT, background_pressure=0)

Set the analysis type.

Parameters:

num_of_cyclefloat, optional

Total time of simulation for the fluid problem. The default is 1.

methodfloat, optional

Time step for the fluid problem. The default is DONOR_CELL_WITH_HALF_INDEX_SHIFT.

background_pressureint, optional

Reference pressure for computing the internal forces. The default is 0.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.

set_output_database(matsum=0, glstat=0)

Obtain output files containing the results.

Parameters:

matsumfloat, optional

Time interval between outputs of part energies. The default is 0.

glstatfloat, optional

Time interval between outputs of global statistics and energies. The default is 0.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.

save_file()

Save keyword files.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.
