ifcopenshell.api.material.remove_profile

Module Contents

ifcopenshell.api.material.remove_profile.remove_profile(file, profile=None) → None

Removes a profile item from a profile set

Note that it is invalid to have zero items in a set, so you should leave at least one profile to ensure a valid IFC dataset.

Parameters:

profile (ifcopenshell.entity_instance) – The IfcMaterialProfile entity you want to remove

Returns:

None

Return type:

None

Example:

# First, let's create a material set.
material_set = ifcopenshell.api.run("material.add_profile_set", model,
    name="B1", set_type="IfcMaterialProfileSet")

# Create a steel material.
steel = ifcopenshell.api.run("material.add_material", model, name="ST01", category="steel")

# Create an I-beam profile curve. Notice how we name our profiles
# based on standardised steel profile names.
hea100 = file.create_entity(
    "IfcIShapeProfileDef", ProfileName="HEA100", ProfileType="AREA",
    OverallWidth=100, OverallDepth=96, WebThickness=5, FlangeThickness=8, FilletRadius=12,
)

# Define that steel material and cross section as a single profile item.
ifcopenshell.api.run("material.add_profile", model,
    profile_set=material_set, material=steel, profile=hea100)

# Imagine a welded square along the length of the profile.
welded_square = ifcopenshell.api.run("profile.add_arbitrary_profile", model,
    profile=[(.0025, .0025), (.0325, .0025), (.0325, -.0025), (.0025, -.0025), (.0025, .0025)])
weld_profile = ifcopenshell.api.run("material.add_profile", model,
    profile_set=material_set, material=steel, profile=welded_square)

# Let's remove our welded square.
ifcopenshell.api.run("material.remove_profile", model, profile=weld_profile)
