Specify the name of the heat source when assign openings

[aknsj]

Hi all, pyaedt is an effective automation tool that has helped me save a lot of time!
But I recently ran into a small problem.I used the following code to assign openings for the faces of the air region with pyaedt.

ipk.assign_openings(air_faces=region.faces)

The following figure shows the properties of the opening heat source generated. The name is “Opening_QE2336”, which seems to consist of the prefix “Opening” and “_” and a randomly generated suffix consisting of letters and numbers.

My requirement is to set the specified name for the opening source or get the name of the generated opening boundary. The reason is that when I use the following code to output summary report，the parameter boundary_list of this function is a list containing the names of boundaries.

def create_summary_report_heatflowrate(boundary_list,csv_name):
    if not csv_name.endswith(".csv"):
        raise ValueError("csv name must end with '.csv'.")
    heatflowrate_fs = ipk.post.create_field_summary()
    heatflowrate_fs.add_calculation(
            entity="Boundary",
            geometry="Surface",
            geometry_name=boundary_list,
            quantity="HeatFlowRate",
            side="Combined",
            mesh="All",
        )
    heatflowrate_fs.export_csv(output_file=os.path.join(base_path,csv_name))

I'd love to know how to specify or get the name of the opening boundary.The version of pyaedt I use is 0.9.10.Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!

Hi @aknsj,

Almost all PyAEDT methods return an object. So in this case you can save the object in a variable:

opening = ipk.assign_openings(air_faces=region.faces)

And you can get the name and even set the name:

name = opening.name

opening.name = "samuel"
