How To Execute Sizing and Analysis

Sizes/Analyzes the assembly. The type of Sizing/Analysis used is dependent on the AnalysisMode of the Assembly.

def ExecuteSizingAndAnalysis(assembly):
    """Size/Analyze an assembly."""

    # Set the analysis mode
    amDetailedSizing = 3
    assembly.AnalysisMode = amDetailedSizing
    assembly.Save()

    # Size and Analyze
    is_success = assembly.Size()

Sizing and Analysis are each distinct operations in HyperX.

Sizing is used to find the optimum cross-section, dimensions, and Material system that minimizes weight and meets failure and manufacturing criteria. Analysis is used to assess the margin of safety values for a single design.

Sizing and Analysis inputs are treated separately from one another even though they can be defined on the same Design Property.

import hyperx as hx

def ExecuteSizingAndAnalysis(project: hx.Project):
    """Size/Analyze multiple zones."""

    zoneIds = list(project.Sets.Get("My Set").Zones.Ids)

    # Sizing
    sizingStatus = project.SizeZones(zoneIds)

    # Check if Sizing was successful
    if sizingStatus.Success:
        print("Sizing Succeeded")
    else:
        print(f"Sizing Failed: {sizingStatus.Message}")

    # Analysis
    analysisStatus = project.AnalyzeZones(zoneIds)

    # Check if Analysis was successful
    if analysisStatus.Success:
        print("Analysis Succeeded")
    else:
        print(f"Analysis Failed: {analysisStatus.Message}")
