class ansys.dyna.core.pre.dynaisph.DynaISPH

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

Contains methods for creating a keyword related to ISPH.

isphanalysis

set_des(num_timestep=1, boxid=0, space_dimension=3, neighbors=150, approximation_theory=0, max_velocty=1000000000000000.0)

Provide controls related to ISPH.

Parameters:

num_timestepint, optional

Number of time steps between particle sorting. The default is 1.

boxidint, optional

Box ID. The default is 0. ISPH approximations are computed inside the specified box. When a particle has gone outside this box, it is deactivated.

space_dimensionint, optional

Space dimension for ISPH particles. The default is 3. Options are:

• EQ.3: 3D problems

• EQ.2: 2D plane strain problems

• EQ.-2: 2D axisymmetric problems

neighborsint, optional

Initial number of neighbors per particle. The default is 150.

approximation_theoryint, optional

Particle approximation theory. The default is 0.

max_veloctyfloat, optional

Maximum value for velocity for the ISPH particles. The default is 1000000000000000.0.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.

save_file()

Save keyword files.

Returns:

bool

True when successful, False when failed.
