NetworkObject.add_links_from_dictionaries(connections)

Create links in the network object.

Parameters:

connectionsdict or list of dict

Dictionary or list of dictionaries containing the links between nodes. Each dictionary consists of these elements:

  the value with unit of the link. The node of the connection can be referred to with the name (str) or face ID (int). The link type (resistance, heat transfer coefficient, or mass flow) is determined automatically from the unit.

• "Name" (optional): a string specifying the name of the link.

Returns:

bool

True if successful.

Examples

>>> import ansys.aedt.core
>>> app = ansys.aedt.core.Icepak()
>>> network = ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.Network(app)
>>> box = app.modeler.create_box([5, 5, 5], [20, 50, 80])
>>> faces_ids = [face.id for face in box.faces]
>>> [network.add_face_node(faces_ids[i]) for i in range(2)]
>>> connection = {"Name": "LinkTest", "Link": [faces_ids[1], faces_ids[0], "1cel_per_w"]}
>>> network.add_links_from_dictionaries(connection)
