How to change the EndTime (Analysis Settings) in WB LS-DYNA with ACT?

Ayush Kumar

Since WB LS-DYNA is itself an ACT extension one has to retrieve the user solver object and then access the properties.

analysis = Model.Analyses[0]  # Get the Analysis system

# Get the solver object
solver = analysis.Solver

solver.Properties["Step Controls/Endtime"].Value = 20
ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.Refresh()

Some more examples of how to set analysis settings for WB LS-Dyna:

analysis = Model.Analyses[0]
solver  = analysis.Solver

# Number of CPUs
solver.Properties['Memory Management/NCPUS'].Value = 16
# End time
solver.Properties['Step Controls/Endtime'].Value = 0.01 
# mass scaling turned off
mscl = solver.Properties['Step Controls/Automatic Mass Scaling']
mscl.Value = mscl.Options[0]
# mass scaling on
mscl.Value = mscl.Options[1]
solver.Properties['Step Controls/Time Step Size'].Value = 1e-06
# Use MPP 
mpp = solver.Properties['Memory Management/Processing Type']
mpp.Value = mpp.Options[2]
# Use SMP
smp = solver.Properties['Memory Management/Processing Type']
smp.Value = smp.Options[1]
# Double precision
solverPrec = solver.Properties['Solver Controls/Solver Precision']
# Single precision
solverPrec.Value = solverPrec.Options[1]
# Result file frequency
resFreq = solver.Properties['Output Controls/Calculate Results At']
resFreq.Value = resFreq.Options[1]
solver.Properties['Output Controls/--- Value'].Value = 50
