add_part(id, name="", additional_card_data="")¶

Parameters

idint: id of the part
namestr: name of the part
additional_card_datastr or list of str: further card data (see Notes section).

Returns

partPart: newly created part object

Raises

ValueError: if id does already exist in the database

Notes

The additional_card_data is a string or a list of strings appended to the keyword when writing the output file. The first line or string is appended without a linebreak.

Examples

>>> # create file with mesh parsing on
>>> kf = KeyFile(parse_mesh=True)
>>> # create a new part keyword
>>> kw = kf.add_keyword("*PART")
>>> # secid and mid for part 
>>> additional_data = "   2000001   2000017"
>>> part = kw.add_part(100, "my_part", additional_data)

get_nParts()¶

Returns

nPartsint: number of parts in the PartKeyword

Notes

Returns the parsed/loaded number of parts belonging to this keyword.

Examples

>>> # open file with mesh parsing on
>>> kf = KeyFile("path/to/keyfile", parse_mesh=True)
>>> kw = kf["*PART"][0]
>>> kw.get_nParts()
1

get_parts()¶

Returns

partslist of Part: list of all parts in the keyword

Notes

Yes, there can be more than one part in a part keyword.

Examples

>>> # open file with mesh parsing on
>>> kf = KeyFile("path/to/keyfile", parse_mesh=True)
>>> kw = kf["*PART"][0]
>>> len( kw.get_parts() )
1

load()¶

Notes

This function iterates through the lines of the keyword, parses each part and loads it the files database. In the process, the lines of every parsed part is destroyed.

Examples

>>> kf = KeyFile(parse_mesh=True)
>>> kw = kf.add_keyword("*PART")
>>> kw.get_nParts()
0
>>> # append a new part (pid=2, secid=1, mid=1)
>>> kw.append_line("         2           1         1")
>>> kw.load()
>>> kw.get_nParts()
1
>>> print(kw)
*PART
         2           1         1
