How to automate pressure load on FSI faces in vibro-acoustics?

Erik Kostson

So say we have 2 named selections (NS), called fs1 and fs2. How can we loop through them and apply a pressure load and find the correct structural body only associated with that face/NS using scripting?

Erik Kostson

Below is one way of doing this (it uses and assumes that on the shared FSI face, we need to get the structural body and not the Fluid/Acoustic body with Water Liquid material, for the shared reference body):

model=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model # refer to Model
analysis = model.Analyses[0]
solution = analysis.Solution
impLoadGrp = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName('Imported Load (A2) ')[0] # change as needed
geodata = ExtAPI.DataModel.GeoData

ans=model.NamedSelections.Children
for ns in ans:
    presload=impLoadGrp.AddImportedPressure()
    presload.Location=ns
    my_geob = geodata.GeoEntityById(ns.Location.Ids[0]).Bodies
    for myb in my_geob:
        my_treeb = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.GetBody(myb)
        if my_treeb.Material != 'Water Liquid':
            presload.SharedRefBody=my_treeb

or if we have all of the FSI faces in one named selection instead (called here myfsi - change name as needed), then the below might help:

model=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model # refer to Model
analysis = model.Analyses[0]
solution = analysis.Solution
impLoadGrp = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName('Imported Load (A2) ')[0] # change as needed
geodata = ExtAPI.DataModel.GeoData

ns=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName('myfsi')[0] # change name of NS as needed
nsids=ns.Location.Ids
for nsi in nsids:
    presload=impLoadGrp.AddImportedPressure()
    selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
    selection.Ids=[nsi]
    presload.Location=selection
    selection=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.ClearSelection()
    my_geob = geodata.GeoEntityById(nsi).Bodies
    for myb in my_geob:
        my_treeb = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.GetBody(myb)
        if my_treeb.Material != 'Water Liquid':
            presload.SharedRefBody=my_treeb
