Model.CE_ConnectorAreaMapMesh

Model.CE_ConnectorAreaMapMesh(ce_collection, entitycollection, vectorptr, tolerance, param1)

Use the projections of components or elements to mesh area connectors.

Parameters:

• ce_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the area connector entities.

• entitycollection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities to map from. Valid entities are components and elements.

• vectorptr (hwTriple) – The direction to project.

• tolerance (double) – The allowable distance from the components/elements to the area connectors.

• param1 (int) – Reserved for future development.

Example

Mesh area connectors with IDs 1, 2, 3 using elements with IDs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, with allowed distance 10.0, and projection direction (0.0, 1.0, 0.0)

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.CE_ConnectorAreaMapMesh(
    ce_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Connector, [1, 2, 3]),
    entitycollection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]),
    vectorptr=[0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
    tolerance=10.0,
    param1=0,
)

Note

Meshed area connector displays as a plane with virtual elements.
