from ansys.additive.core.single_bead import SingleBeadInput

property SingleBeadInput.bead_length: float#

Length (m) of bead to simulate.

Valid values are from the MIN_BEAD_LENGTH value to the MAX_BEAD_LENGTH value.

property SingleBeadInput.machine: ansys.additive.core.machine.AdditiveMachine#: Machine parameters.

property SingleBeadInput.material: ansys.additive.core.material.AdditiveMaterial#: Material parameters.

property SingleBeadInput.output_thermal_history: bool#: Flag indicating whether to output the thermal history of the simulation.

property SingleBeadInput.thermal_history_interval: int#

Interval, in simulation steps, between thermal history results.

Use 1 to create thermal history results for every simulation step, 2 for every other step, and so on.

SingleBeadInput.DEFAULT_OUTPUT_THERMAL_HISTORY = False#: Default output thermal history flag.

SingleBeadInput.DEFAULT_THERMAL_HISTORY_INTERVAL = 1#: Default thermal history interval.

SingleBeadInput.MIN_THERMAL_HISTORY_INTERVAL = 1#: Minimum thermal history interval.

SingleBeadInput.MAX_THERMAL_HISTORY_INTERVAL = 10000#: Maximum thermal history interval.
