add_boundary_node

NetworkObject.add_boundary_node(name, assignment_type, value)

Add a boundary node to the network.

Parameters:

namestr

Name of the node.

assignment_typestr

Type assignment. Options are "Power" and "Temperature".

valuestr or float or dict

String, float, or dictionary containing the value of the assignment. If a float is passed the "W" or "cel" unit is used, depending on the selection for the assignment_type parameter. If "Power" is selected for the type, a dictionary can be passed to use temperature-dependent or transient assignment.

Returns:

bool

True if successful.

Examples

>>> import ansys.aedt.core
>>> app = ansys.aedt.core.Icepak()
>>> network = ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.Network(app)
>>> network.add_boundary_node("TestNode", "Temperature", 2)
>>> ds = app.create_dataset1d_design("Test_DataSet", [1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5])
>>> network.add_boundary_node("TestNode", "Power", {"Type": "Temp Dep",
>>>                                                       "Function": "Piecewise Linear",
>>>                                                       "Values": "Test_DataSet"})
