Adams General Forum I have stp file that has a lot of parts in it, but I want to disable them to begin with. I thought I could do this easily with a python script but the enable method that should be inherited from object is not usable for some reason (code in details)

import Adams

myModel = Adams.getCurrentModel()

# myParts is a PartManager Class

myParts = myModel.Parts

for p in myParts:

pp = myParts.get(p)

pp.enable = 0 # This does not work. What do I use?

pp.active should help. If it is deactivated, it returns the string 'off'. If not, it returns the string 'inherit'.

Hi Maziar,

That does not seem to work. I get this error:

AttributeError: 'RigidBody' object has no attribute 'active'

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

This attribute was added in 2020. I suppose you are using an older version.

Thank you,

Maziar

In case of older version there is let say workaround. We are using Catia, before saving assembly to step file, I hide all not needed parts in Catia. Save step file. Import to Adams. Do what I need. Mostly merge bodies. Then I hide imported parts in Catia. Unhide other, save step...
