MaterialDatabase

class pynumad.objects.materialdb.MaterialDatabase

Bases: object

Database of all blade materials in a solver-ready format.

Entries are keyed by material/composite name and stored in entries. Use db[name] / db[name] = entry for convenient dict-style access.

entries

All material and composite stack entries indexed by name.

Type:

dict[str, MaterialDatabaseEntry]

generate(materials: dict, stackdb: StackDatabase)

Adds material and composites information to MatDB

Parameters:

• materials (dict)

• stackdb (StackDatabase)

Returns:

Self
