Adjusting Step Parameters
The analysis is done in one step. The main parameters of this step can (and should) be adjusted to complete the analysis in a timely manner.
Adjusting Step Parameters using the GUI
The Step Parameters frame of the analysis tab can be seen in Fig. 8. Note that in a batch analysis these parameters are used for all models. Therefore, care should be taken to select a set of parameters suitable for all analysis. If a model needs a different set, it should be run as a single analysis.
Adjusting Step Parameters using the API
Step parameters are defined by defining a StepParams object. A list of all attributes and their significance can be found in classes.auxetic_structure_params.StepParams
. An example is shown below:
# Define the step_params object.
# Undefined attributes default to None.
step_params = StepParams(
time_period = 0.1 ,
init_inc_size = 0.01 ,
min_inc_size = 0.005,
max_inc_size = 0.05 ,
max_num_inc = 10000
)
