GlobalRegion

GlobalRegion

GlobalRegion(damping: Damping = None)

Bases: RegionBase

A special region representing the entire structural model.

GlobalRegion represents the entire finite element model as a single region. It is pre-instantiated by the region manager and assigned a reserved tag of 0. It is typically used to apply global Rayleigh or modal damping.

Tcl form

None (renders as an empty string since it is the global default).

Example

from femora.core.model import Model

model = Model()
# Retrieve the pre-defined global region
glob_reg = model.region.global_region
print(glob_reg.tag)  # 0

Initialize the global region.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
damping	Damping	Optional Damping component to assign globally.	None

Methods:

get_type staticmethod

get_type() -> str

Get the type name of the region.

Returns:

Type	Description
str	The string "GlobalRegion".
