This functionality is provided as a preview
of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the
Fusion API and Scripts forum.
Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly
break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use
any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.
The AdditiveFEADeckBuilder supplies methods to generate cards to be used for generating an FEA simulation result.
| Name | Description |
| append |
Append an input card to the deck. |
| classType |
Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType(). |
| create |
Creates a new AdditiveFEADeckBuilder object. |
| createBuildPlateXYExtensionCard |
Creates the *SBXY card. Arguments are per the Fusion view cube, i.e. left is -x, right is +x, front is -y, and back is +y. |
| createBuildPlateZBoundsCard |
Creates the *DDM! card to define the build plate z position and thickness. |
| createConvection |
Creates a new AdditiveFEAConvection object to define *CONV data. |
| createConvectionCard |
Creates the *CONV card to define a convection boundary condition. |
| createDiskCheckCard |
Creates the *IOBN card to enable or disable the disk check. |
| createDoubleCard |
Creates a generic enumerated card with a single double argument. Cards that can be created as a double card include: - STLToleranceCard - InitialTemperatureCard - AmbientTemperatureCard - FinalTemperatureCard - EvaporationTemperatureCard - AutomaticTimingCard |
| createGenericCard |
Creates a generic key value card. |
| createGoldakCard |
Creates the *GOLD card. See the figure at the following link for an illustration of the axes: https://help.autodesk.com/view/NETF/2026/ENU/?guid=GUID-3634FFD9-1976-4556-BE46-ED5850410853 |
| createIntCard |
Creates a generic enumerated card with a single integer argument. Cards that can be created as an int card include: - AnalysisTypeCard - LayersPerElementCard - CoarseningGenerationsCard - AdaptivityCard - PowderTypeCard - FineLayerCountCard - OutputFileFrequencyCard |
| createLaserPathGenerationCard |
Creates the *LSRP card. |
| createMaterialCard |
Creates the *MATE card block. |
| createMechanicalRelaxationCard |
Creates the *RELM card. |
| createPropertyScalingCard |
Creates the *DDM1 card. |
| createRelaxationCard |
Creates the *RELA card. |
| createSolutionParametersCard |
Creates the *SOLU card. |
| createSTLMap |
Creates a new AdditiveFEASTLMap object to define *STLM data. |
| createSTLMapCard |
Creates the *STLM card to define the STL mapping. |
| createStringArrayCard |
Creates a generic enumerated card with an array of string arguments. Cards that can be created as a string array card include: - STLsCard - PRMsCard |
| createStringCard |
Creates a generic enumerated card with a single string argument. Card(s) that can be created as a string card include: - TitleCard |
| createTransientCard |
Creates the *TRAN card. |
| createVoidCard |
Creates a generic enumerated card with no arguments. Cards that can be created as a void card include: - BinaryOutputCard - EnsightOutputCard - NoOffCoreCard - OnCore1Card - PowderCard - AutomaticMeshingCard - PowderBedYSymmetryCard - NewPRMGenerationMethodCard - EndCard |
| createWarpInputCard |
Creates the *INPU card. |
| Name | Description |
| cards | Gets the list of cards that makes up the deck. |
| isValid | Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference. |
| objectType | This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object. It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType(): |
