Title: Automating HyperFEA and defining ply drops with COM Method
Post by: maribatcric on February 12, 2012, 04:25:12 PM

I would like to be able to automate the following tasks in HyperFEA:

1)   Open a database
2)   Select the correct project and set the number of iterations required.
3)   Carry out optimization

Do you know how this can be done? Additionally, I would like to know how to set the ply transition region between components when using object modeling.

Thank you in advance for your response,

HyperFEA is not exposed directly in the object model.

V6.2 will have a new Project.UpdateFEM() method. This creates the iteration FEM (model_i.bdf). Submitting the iteration FEM to the FEA solver left up to the user.

Ply drop creation is not exposed on the object model either.
