ABQInteractions

The collection of Abaqus interactions (ABQInteraction) objects attached to

an

ABQInitialStep object.

add(i_interaction_type: str) → ABQInteraction

o Func Add(CATBSTR iInteractionType) As ABQInteraction

Creates a new Abaqus interaction and adds it to the collection of Abaqus

Interactions.

Parameters:

iInteractionType

The type of the interaction to create.

Legal values:

“ABQSurfaceToSurfaceContact”

“ABQFastenedPair”

“ABQRigidBodyConstraint”

“ABQRigidCoupling”

“ABQSmoothCoupling”

“ABQARSurf”

Returns:

oInteraction The Abaqus interaction object that was created.

Example:

The following example creates a Contact pair interaction in the

ABQInteractions collection:

Dim abaqusInteractions As ABQInteractions

Dim abqFPair As ABQFastenedPair

Set abqFPair = abaqusInteractions..Add(“ABQFastenedPair”)

Parameters:

i_interaction_type (str) –

Return type:

ABQInteraction

item(i_index: cat_variant) → ABQInteraction

o Func Item(CATVariant iIndex) As ABQInteraction

Returns an Abaqus interaction using its index or its name from the

ABQInteractions collection.

Parameters:

iIndex

The index or the name of the Abaqus interaction to retrieve from

the collection of Abaqus Interactions. If the index is a number, it specifies

the rank of the Abaqus interaction in the collection. The index of the first

Abaqus interaction in the collection is 1, and the index of the last

interaction is Count. If the index is a string, it specifies the name you

assigned to the interaction using the CATIACollection::Name property.

Returns:

The specified ABQInteraction.

Parameters:

i_index (cat_variant) –

Return type:

ABQInteraction

remove(i_index: cat_variant) → None

o Sub Remove(CATVariant iIndex)

Removes an Abaqus interaction using its index or its name from the

Interaction collection.

Parameters:

iIndex

The index or the name of the Abaqus interaction to retrieve from

the collection of Abaqus Interactions. If the index is a number, it specifies

the rank of the Abaqus interaction in the collection. The index of the first

Abaqus interaction in the collection is 1, and the index of the last

interaction is Count. If the index is a string, it specifies the name you

assigned to the interaction using the CATIABase::Name

property.

Parameters:

i_index (cat_variant) –

Return type:

None
