def add_port(file, element=None) -> None:
"""Adds a new distribution port to an element
A distribution port represents a connection point on an element, where
a distribution element may be connected to another distribution element.
For example, a duct segment will typically have two ports, one at either
end, because you can attach another segment or fitting to either end of
the duct segment.
This will both add a distribution port and automatically assign it to a
distribution element.
:param element: The IfcDistributionElement you want to add a
distribution port to.
:type element: ifcopenshell.entity_instance
:return: The newly created IfcDistributionPort
:rtype: ifcopenshell.entity_instance
Example:
.. code:: python
# Create a duct
duct = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", model,
ifc_class="IfcDuctSegment", predefined_type="RIGIDSEGMENT")
# Create 2 ports, one for either end.
port1 = ifcopenshell.api.run("system.add_port", model, element=duct)
port2 = ifcopenshell.api.run("system.add_port", model, element=duct)
"""
settings = {
"element": element,
}
port = ifcopenshell.api.run("root.create_entity", file, ifc_class="IfcDistributionPort")
if settings["element"]:
ifcopenshell.api.run("system.assign_port", file, element=settings["element"], port=port)
return port
