- Mapdl.edbx(option='', boxid='', xmin='', xmax='', ymin='', ymax='', zmin='', zmax='', **kwargs)#
Creates a box shaped volume to be used in a contact definition for
APDL Command: EDBX explicit dynamics.
- Parameters:
- option
Label identifying the contact box definition option to be performed.
ADD - Adds a contact box definition (default).
DELETE - Deletes a contact box definition.
- LIST - Lists each box ID number, and the coordinates that make up each box shaped
volume.
- boxid
User defined list ID number.
- xmin
Minimum x-coordinate.
- xmax
Maximum x-coordinate.
- ymin
Minimum y-coordinate.
- ymax
Maximum y-coordinate.
- zmin
Minimum z-coordinate.
- zmax
Maximum z-coordinate.
Notes
The ANSYS LS-DYNA command EDCGEN allows you to define contact and target volumes using box ID numbers BOXID1 and BOXID2, respectively. If you use these arguments to define contact volumes, you must first define their coordinates using the EDBX command.
