    define new Set

    I can see now the section on assembly sets in CAE. So I need to assign this: partAerofoil.SectionAssignment(offset=0.0, offsetField='', offsetType=MIDDLE_SURFACE, region=partAerofoil.sets['setPiezo'], sectionName='aerofoilPiezoSection', thicknessAssignment=FROM_SECTION) to the set I defined...

    define new Set

    I don't see a mesh when I click on the hex-meshed cube. And yes you are right I've meshed the instance. But I have too many parts to just change the mesh on part instead of instance. Before I was assigning the 'setPiezo' to faces, and these faces were also meshed. So it is possible to make a set...

    define new Set

    My supervisor told me that I have to do it with elements. I mean the aerofoil is meshed. Why should it not work? I tried also to insert the code you gave me when I am in the 'mesh' module.

    define new Set

    I am very sorry I changed the name from 'Set-1' into 'blalb'... it's the set with the red bang. Do you know how I can resolve this? Thanks!

    define new Set

    Thanks for this. I already found this but I thought it wouldn't be helpful but it is. So I put this in my command window of Abaqus. It adds a new set with the name 'Set-1' which is good, but when I click on it no red surface appears like when I click on the other sets... This means that it only...

    define new Set

    I now changed the code to: aeroAssembly.Set( name='setPiezo', elements= aeroInstance.elements.getByBoundingBox( 150, 0-dtol, 22.56, 303.06, depthProfile+dtol, 30.01 )) # assign piezo section partAerofoil.SectionAssignment(offset=0.0, offsetField=''...

    define new Set

    I searched in the manual and on google the whole day, but it didn't help me that much. getbyboundingbox says that you have type in your x,y,z maxs/mins. I tried with the new code but it didn't work. I am sorry but I really don't know how to do it? aeroAssembly.Set( name='setPiezo', elements=...

    define new Set

    Hi all, I defined a new set on my aerofoil called setPiezo. Now when I run the script I get the error: "Unknown key setPiezo". What am I doing wrong? Thanks! Best Matterhorn code: aeroAssembly.Set( name='setPiezo', nodes= aeroInstance.nodes.getByBoundingBox( -150, 0-dtol...

    Aerofoil set new surface

    So I have to make a new set. I read in with getbyboundingbox my xmin,ymin,zmin,xmax,ymax,zax. Now it says: "Unknown part instance node set AEROFOILINSTANCE.SETPIEZO" What can I do to resolve this problem? My code looks like this: partAerofoil.Set( name='setPiezo', nodes=...

    Aerofoil set new surface

    I don't know how to define a new surface with python. I basically would like to create a new surface which is not connected with the ones that are already defined like coords_top_web0.

    Aerofoil set new surface

    Hi everyone, I have an aerofoil with different defined surfaces on the top. Now I have to create a new surface or element, so that I can choose this new surface instead of the predefined surfaces for piezo actuation. How can I do this? Thanks in advance!
