Master and slave Boundary Condition #3705

Closed jmaravin closed 1 year ago

Before submitting the issue

Description of the bug

I am using the master and slave (Dependent/Independent) boundary conditions and works well. However, I think it is still a bit rigid as the coordinates of the U and V vectors to apply them cannot be parameterized. See the pictures attached. In the first one, when I add the actual position in real numbers, the BC works. However, when I include it as a variable with the same actual real number, the codes does not work. Is there any way to improve this?

Thanks in advance. Jaime a b

Hi @jmaravin,

I've done a quick test and the issue is due to the AEDT native API method AssignDependent. It doesn't accept a parametrized value, it requires a value + unit as a string.

Thanks,

Giulia

@gmalinve is there not a way to sort this out?

gmalinve commented 1 year ago

Hi @jmaravin,

As I mentioned above this is not a limitation of pyaedt but of the native API. It's not possible to set parameters in the UI neither. If you want you can try to contact the Ansys customer portal and submit an enhancement request.

Oh, ok .. I understand it now. Thanks for that. I´ll try contacting the Ansys customer portal then. Thanks
