RASpringDashpotMoment

class ansys.rocky.app.motion.ra_spring_dashpot_moment.RASpringDashpotMoment(id: str, model_id: str | None = None)

Bases: ansys.rocky.app.api_element_item.ApiElementItem

Rocky PrePost Scripting wrapper representing a Spring-Dashpot Moment motion.

Retrieve this specific wrapper after setting the correct motion type on a RAMotion. For example:

motions = motion_frame.GetMotions()
motion_1 = motions.New()
motion_1.SetType('Spring-Dashpot Moment')
spring_moment = motion_1.GetTypeObject()

Method detail

classmethod RASpringDashpotMoment.GetWrappedClass()

classmethod RASpringDashpotMoment.GetClassName()

RASpringDashpotMoment.GetDashpotCoefficient(unit: str | None = None) → float

Get the value of “Dashpot Coefficient”.

Parameters:

unit – The unit for the returned value. If no unit is provided, the returned value will be in “Nms/rad”.

RASpringDashpotMoment.SetDashpotCoefficient(value: str | float, unit: str | None = None) → None

Set the value of “Dashpot Coefficient”.

Parameters:

• value – The value to set. This value can be an expression with input variables or float type.

• unit – The unit for value. If no unit is provided, value is assumed to be in “Nms/rad”.

RASpringDashpotMoment.GetDirection() → str

Get “Direction” as a string.

Returns:

The returned value will be one of [‘none’, ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘xy’, ‘z’, ‘xz’, ‘yz’, ‘xyz’].

RASpringDashpotMoment.SetDirection(value: str) → None

Set the value of “Direction”.

Parameters:

value – The value to set. Must be one of [‘none’, ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘xy’, ‘z’, ‘xz’, ‘yz’, ‘xyz’].

Raises:

RockyApiError – If value is not a valid “Direction” option.

RASpringDashpotMoment.GetValidDirectionValues() → list[str]

Get a list of all possible values for “Direction”.

Returns:

The returned list is [‘none’, ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘xy’, ‘z’, ‘xz’, ‘yz’, ‘xyz’].

RASpringDashpotMoment.GetSpringCoefficient(unit: str | None = None) → float

Get the value of “Spring Coefficient”.

Parameters:

unit – The unit for the returned value. If no unit is provided, the returned value will be in “Nm/rad”.

RASpringDashpotMoment.SetSpringCoefficient(value: str | float, unit: str | None = None) → None

Set the value of “Spring Coefficient”.

Parameters:

• value – The value to set. This value can be an expression with input variables or float type.

• unit – The unit for value. If no unit is provided, value is assumed to be in “Nm/rad”.
