Vehicle

class ansys.aedt.core.modeler.advanced_cad.actors.Vehicle(car_folder, speed=10.0, relative_cs_name=None)

Provides an instance of a vehicle.

This class is derived from ansys.aedt.core.modeler.multiparts.MultiPartComponent.

Note

Motion is always forward in the X-axis direction.

Parameters:

car_folderstr, required

Full path to the folder containing the definition of the vehicle. This can be changed later.

speedfloat or str, optional

Speed of the vehicle. The default is 10.0.

relative_cs_namestr, optional

Name of the relative coordinate system of the actor. The default is None, in which case the global coordinate system is used.

Methods

Vehicle.insert(app[, motion])	Insert the vehicle in HFSS SBR+.
Vehicle.position_in_app(app)	Set up design variables and values to enable motion for the multi-part 3D component.
Vehicle.start(app)	Initialize app for SBR+ simulation.
