ident	The ident string that shall be used for the imported set definition
indices	The global indices (with respect to the current reference node set)

◆ loadDataBase()

database	the database where all objects are to be stored

◆ referenceDesign()

ReferenceDesign referenceDesign ( )

gives access to the reference design information

Returns: a reference to the object stored in

See also: application_data

◆ setReferenceMesh()

setReferenceMesh	(	Structure	database,
		MetaStructure	mesh,

	)

sets the reference mesh It throws an exception if this is somehow not possible.

Parameters

mesh	the reference mesh as a meta structure
database	the database to be modified
do_create_mesh	If this is false, then no FEM mesh is built up from the meta structure. Use this mode carefully, since SoS GUI, visualization and algorithms may not work properly. This mode is used for fast simulation of random field designs.
