Set the default values of the ExportMapdlCdbParams object.

Parameters:
config_settings: str, optional

MAPDL configuration settings in CDB format to be added at the beginning of the file.

pre_solution_settings: str, optional

MAPDL Settings in CDB format to be added before the solution block in the file.

material_properties: str, optional

Materials in CDB format to be added to the file.

boundary_conditions: str, optional

Boundary conditions in CDB format to be added to the file.

analysis_settings: str, optional

MAPDL analysis settings in CDB format to be added after the solution block in the file. Note: Boundary conditions can be included into analysis settings.

write_cells: bool, optional

Option to write out cells as part of the file.

enable_face_based_labels: bool, optional

Use LabelExportParams instead. Parameter enableFaceBasedLabels will be removed in 2025R2.

label_export_params: LabelExportParams, optional

Parameters to control the export of labels as Nodal or Element Components in CDB.

write_by_zones: bool, optional

Option to write zones in the file.

consider_general_connectors_as_spot_weld: bool, optional

Option to translate all general connector joints (other than axial) to spot weld type. This is important when nodes are non coincident.

analysis_type: CdbAnalysisType, optional

Option to specify CDB analysis type.

simulation_type: CdbSimulationType, optional

Simulation type for the file.

analysis_settings_file_name: str, optional

File path to export mapdl analysis settings.

write_separate_blocks: bool, optional

Controls whether element blocks should be written separately. When true, writes elements in separate blocks based on the format specified in separate_blocks_format_type. When false, writes all elements into a single block.

write_components_with_element_blocks: bool, optional

Controls whether component definitions should be written within individual element blocks. write_components_with_element_blocks only has effect when write_separate_blocks is true. When write_components_with_element_blocks is true, writes component commands for each element block. When write_components_with_element_blocks is false, writes components separately.

separate_blocks_format_type: SeparateBlocksFormatType, optional

Controls the format type when writing separate element blocks. Only used when write_separate_blocks is true.

export_tie_as_cntgen: bool, optional

Option to export ties as cntgen. When true, translates ties and contact pairs into compact cntgen blocks in the exported file. The default value is false.

export_coupling_as_sfcgen: bool, optional

Option to export coupling as sfcgen. When true, translates kinematic or distributing coupling into compact sfcgen blocks in the exported file. The default value is false.

export_fasteners_as_swgen: bool, optional

Option to export fasteners as swgen. When true, translates fasteners into compact swgen blocks in the exported file. The default value is false.

export_rigid_bodies_as_rbgen: bool, optional

Option to export rigid bodies as rbgen. When true, translates rigid bodies into compact rbgen blocks in the exported file. The default value is false.

write_component_based_ties: bool, optional

Option to write ties using component-based format. When true, writes ties using component selection and surface generation commands instead of explicit element definitions. The default value is false.

mortar_contact_for_ties: bool, optional

Option to enable mortar contact for ties. When true, changes the key options for tie surfaces. The default value is false.

write_thickness_file: bool, optional

Option to write a thickness file for spotweld fatigue analysis. If true, writes a file named [exportedFilename].cdb.thick.txt containing thickness information.

contact_element_types: ContactElementTypeParams, optional

Parameters for choosing element types for contact surfaces in TIEs and CONTACT PAIRs.

reorder_spotweldsurface: bool, optional

Parameters to choose the logic of spotweld computation. When false, computes spotwelds by prioritzing proximity of surface to spotweld. When true, computes spotwelds by prioritizing proximity of boundary surface to spotweld.

skip_comments: bool, optional

Parameter to skip export of comments to the exported file.
