create_network_blocks#

Icepak.create_network_blocks(input_list, gravity_dir, top=0, assign_material=True, default_material='Ceramic_material')#

Create network blocks from CSV files.

Parameters:

input_listlist: List of sources with inputs rjc, rjb, and power. For example, [[Objname1, rjc, rjb, power1, power2, ...], [Objname2, rjc2, rbj2, power1, power2, ...]].
gravity_dirint: Gravity direction X to Z. Options are 0 to 2. This parameter determines the orientation of network boundary faces.
topfloat, optional: Chosen orientation (X to Z) coordinate value in millimeters of the top face of the board. The default is ‘’0 mm’’. This parameter determines the casing and board side of the network.
assign_materialbool, optional: Whether to assign a material. The default is True.
default_materialstr, optional: Default material if assign_material=True. The default is "Ceramic_material".

Returns:

list[ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.common.BoundaryObject]: List of boundary objects created.

Examples

Create network boundaries from each box in the list.

>>> box1 = icepak.modeler.create_box([1, 2, 3], [10, 10, 10], "NetworkBox2", "copper")
>>> box2 = icepak.modeler.create_box([4, 5, 6], [5, 5, 5], "NetworkBox3", "copper")
>>> blocks = icepak.create_network_blocks(
...     [["NetworkBox2", 20, 10, 3], ["NetworkBox3", 4, 10, 2]], 2, 1.05918, False
... )
>>> blocks[0].props["Nodes"]["Internal"]
['3W']
