Assign resistance boundary condition prescribing a loss curve.

Parameters:

objectslist or str: A list of objects to which the resistance condition will be assigned. It can be a single object (a string) or multiple objects specified as a list.
boundary_namestr, optional: Name of the boundary object to create. If a name is not provided, a unique name is generated. The default is None.
total_powerstr, float, or dict or BoundaryDictionary, optional: Total power transferred to the fluid through the resistance volume. It is specified as a string with a value and unit or a float where the default unit "W" is used. Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern. Default is "0W".
fluidstr, optional: The material of the volume to which the resistance is being assigned. Default is "air".
laminarbool, optional: Whether the flow inside the volume must be treated as laminar or not. Default is False.
loss_curves_xlist of lists of float: List of two list defining the loss curve in the X direction. The first list contains the mass flow rate value of the curve while the second contains the pressure values. Units can be specified with the loss_curve_flow_unit and loss_curve_pressure_unit parameters. Default is [[0,1],[0,1]].
loss_curves_ylist of lists of float: List of two list defining the loss curve in the Y direction. The first list contains the mass flow rate value of the curve while the second contains the pressure values. Units can be specified with the loss_curve_flow_unit and loss_curve_pressure_unit parameters. Default is [[0,1],[0,1]].
loss_curves_zlist of lists of float: List of two list defining the loss curve in the Z direction. The first list contains the mass flow rate value of the curve while the second contains the pressure values. Units can be specified with the loss_curve_flow_unit and loss_curve_pressure_unit parameters. Default is [[0,1],[0,1]].
loss_curve_flow_unitstr, optional: Specifies the unit of flow rate in the loss curvev (for all directions). Default is "m_per_sec".
loss_curve_pressure_unitstr, optional: Specifies the unit of pressure drop in the loss curve (for all directions). Default is "n_per_meter_sq".

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.BoundaryObject: Boundary object when successful or None when failed.
