Declaration

public LinkComponentAxialPositionErrorReporter AlignmentInWorldCoordinateSystem { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description

AngleOfCentreOfConnectionPatch

For a flexible node ring this is the angle of the first created node. Nodes in the FE mesh that are contained within the search region are connected to the condensation node, which connects to the MASTA model. The search region can optionally be viewed in the 3D view by using the controls above the view.

Measurement: Angle

Declaration

public Overridable<double> AngleOfCentreOfConnectionPatch { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Overridable<System.Double>

BearingNodeLinkOption

The number of nodes in the axial direction for the component

Declaration

public EnumWithSelectedValue<BearingNodeOption> BearingNodeLinkOption { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EnumWithSelectedValue<BearingNodeOption>

BearingRaceInFE

Specifies whether the rolling bearing races that are connected to the FE Substructure are included in the FE geometry or not. Is used to determine what additional mass is required at the bearing location.

Declaration

public Overridable<bool> BearingRaceInFE { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Overridable<System.Boolean>

Component

Declaration

public MountableComponent Component { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
MountableComponent

ComponentName

Component that this link connects to the FE Substructure

Declaration

public string ComponentName { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

Connection

The connection in the component that this link connects to the FE Substructure

Declaration

public string Connection { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

ConnectToMidsideNodes

For second order elements determines whether all nodes in the search region are included or just the corner nodes.

Declaration

public bool ConnectToMidsideNodes { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

CouplingType

The type of coupling to use depends on what is not in the FE Substructure. For example if the connection is to something that is press fitted onto the FE at this location, then a kinematic coupling will be more suitable, as it will stiffen up the FE at this location.

Declaration

public Overridable<RigidCouplingType> CouplingType { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Overridable<RigidCouplingType>

ExternalNodeIDs

IDs in the external FE model of the nodes that are used by this link

Declaration

public string ExternalNodeIDs { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

HasTeeth

Whether the FE Substructure has teeth or not. For a flexible spline, this determines whether MASTA will create separate nodes for each tooth flank. For a gear mesh, this affects the node search depth.

Declaration

public bool HasTeeth { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

LinkNodeSource

Determines where the nodes come from for this link. Either existing condensation nodes in the FE Substructure or a number of automatically created nodes.

Declaration

public EnumWithSelectedValue<LinkNodeSource> LinkNodeSource { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EnumWithSelectedValue<LinkNodeSource>

LinkToGetNodesFrom

Declaration

public ListWithSelectedItem<FELink> LinkToGetNodesFrom { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description

NodeConeSearchAngle

Sets the angle of the tapered cylinder search region. Nodes in the FE mesh that are contained within the search region are connected to the condensation node, which connects to the MASTA model. The search region can optionally be viewed in the 3D view by using the controls above the view.

Measurement: Angle

Declaration

public Overridable<double> NodeConeSearchAngle { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Overridable<System.Double>

NodeCylinderSearchAxialOffset

By default the search cylinder is axially centred at the position of the created condensation node. A positive value will offset this in the direction of the local z-axis of the component. Nodes in the FE mesh that are contained within the search region are connected to the condensation node, which connects to the MASTA model. The search region can optionally be viewed in the 3D view by using the controls above the view.

public Overridable<double> NodeCylinderSearchAxialOffset { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Overridable<System.Double>

NodeCylinderSearchDiameter

This parameter sets the point halfway in between the inner and outer diameter of the search area. Should be set to the expected diameter of the nodes to be found. Nodes in the FE mesh that are contained within the search region are connected to the condensation node, which connects to the MASTA model. The search region can optionally be viewed in the 3D view by using the controls above the view.

Measurement: ShortLength
