replication Module

Defines various utilities for replicated BDF parsing including:

• to_fields

pyNastran.bdf.bdf_interface.replication._field(old_card, ifield)

helper for replication

pyNastran.bdf.bdf_interface.replication.float_replication(field, old_field)

*4., *(11.5)

pyNastran.bdf.bdf_interface.replication.get_nrepeats(field, old_card, new_card)

=4, =(11)

pyNastran.bdf.bdf_interface.replication.int_replication(field, old_field)

*4, *(11)

pyNastran.bdf.bdf_interface.replication.repeat_cards(old_card, new_card)

helper for replication

pyNastran.bdf.bdf_interface.replication.to_fields_replication(card_lines)

Converts a series of lines in a card into string versions of the field. Handles large, small, and CSV formatted cards. Same as to_fields, but uses a different method to determine if it’s large or small field format.

Parameters:

lines : List[str]

the lines of the BDF card object

Returns:

fields : List[str]

the string formatted fields of the card
