split_cbars_by_pin_flag Module

defines:

• model, pin_flag_map = split_cbars_by_pin_flag(

  bdf_filename, pin_flags_filename=None, bdf_filename_out=None)

pyNastran.bdf.mesh_utils.split_cbars_by_pin_flag.split_cbars_by_pin_flag(bdf_filename, pin_flags_filename=None, bdf_filename_out=None, debug=False)

Splits bar elements if they have a pin flag. That way you can each side of the element (A/B) a unique color based on the pin flag. This doesn’t split non-pin flagged bars.

Parameters:

bdf_filenamestr; BDF

str : use the read_bdf method BDF : assume it’s a model

pin_flags_filenamestr; default=None

the pin flag file to write this is optional as you may need to define your own map

bdf_filename_outstr; default=None

write the updated deck

debugbool/None; default=True

used to set the logger if no logger is passed in

True: logs debug/info/error messages False: logs info/error messages None: logs error messages

Returns:

modelBDF()

the BDF object

pin_flag_mapdict[eid]pin_flag

eidint

the element id

pin_flagint

the bar pin flag

pyNastran.bdf.mesh_utils.split_cbars_by_pin_flag.write_pin_flag_map(pin_flag_map, pin_flags_filename)

writes the pin flag map
