How To Set Failure Mode Settings

In the HyperSizer API, User Constant values can be modified through setting the properties of the UserConstant class.

def SettingUserConstantValues(component, userConstantName, userConstantValue):
    """Edit HyperSizer User Constants."""

    userConstantCol = component.UserConstants
    userConstant = userConstantCol.GetUserConstant(userConstantName)

    if isinstance(userConstantValue, float):
        userConstant.Value = userConstantValue
    elif isinstance(userConstantValue, str):
        userConstant.Value = userConstantValue

    component.Save()

In the HyperX Scripting API, Failure Mode Analysis Settings values can be modified using the FailureModeSetting.SetTypeValue() method.

import hyperx as hx

def SettingFailureModeSettings(hxApp: hx.Application):
    """Edit failure mode settings by specifiying the name of the setting."""

    failureMode = hxApp.FailureModes.CreateFailureMode("Panel Buckling")

    # Selection-based setting (with drop-down menu).
    failureModeSetting = failureMode.Settings.Get("Panel Buckling Knockdown Mode") 
    failureModeSetting.SetSelectionValue(1)
    
    # Floating point setting.
    failureModeSetting = failureMode.Settings.Get("Constant buckling knockdown factor") 
    failureModeSetting.SetFloatValue(3.2)

    # Boolean setting (check box).
    failureModeSetting = failureMode.Settings.Get("Include Transverse Shear Flexibility") 
    failureModeSetting.SetBoolValue(False)
