Inspire python code strutLattice( trimmingBody= ) problem
Hi there,
I have a problem with trimmingBody parameter of inspire python method inspire.strutLattice(). While using the Impilicit Modeling -> Strut tool, I can trim my implicit part by selecting the trim part from the outerbody->shell->trimmingBody section. However when I use inspire.strutLattice() method with shell=True parameter, shell work but trim don't work.
Example:
implicitPart.strutLattice(body=implicitPart.bodies[0], unitCellType='CORNERDIAGONAL', strutDiameter=0.004, cellSizeX=4,shell=True ,trimmingBody=XXXXX ,shellThicknessOut=0.0005)
What should XXXXX be here? How can I make my trim part in my model work here?
I have same problem with parameter combineBody.
Example:
implicitPart.strutLattice(body=implicitPart.bodies[0], unitCellType='CORNERDIAGONAL', strutDiameter=0.004, cellSizeX=4,combine=True ,combineBody=XXXXX).
Altair EmployeeThank you so much Antonio.
My problem not basic like "cuboid = implicitPart.createCuboid()" but I figured it out with your help. I converted my part to Implict and used implict body in method for trim.
OK, got it.
Only implicit can be selected for that purpose so you found it.
Thanks for letting me know.

Antonio
Altair EmployeeHi Kurt,
the XXXXX should be the object you want to use as the trim/combine object with the lattice. For example:
cuboid = implicitPart.createCuboid()
implicitPart.strutLattice(body=implicitPart.bodies[0], unitCellType='CORNERDIAGONAL', strutDiameter=0.004, cellSizeX=4,combine=True ,combineBody=cuboid)
If you need more info about how Trimming Body and Combine Body work in general here is a link:

Hope this helps.
