Model.CE_ConnectorAreaMeshWithDetails

Model.CE_ConnectorAreaMeshWithDetails(collection, element_size, element_type, element_type2, link_opposite_edges, size_control, skew_control, edge_mesh_algorithm, min_size, max_size, chordal_deviation, max_angle, area_width, area_offset)

Meshes area connectors and updates the width and offset stored on the connector.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the area connectors.

• element_size (double) – The element size.

• element_type (int) –

  The element type for mapped meshing algorithms:

  0 - Trias

  1 - Quads

  2 - Mixed

  3 - R-trias

• element_type2 (int) –

  The element type for free meshing algorithms:

  0 - Trias

  1 - Quads

  2 - Mixed

  3 - R-trias

• link_opposite_edges (int) –

  0 - Do not link

  1 - Link

• size_control (int) –

  0 - Off

  1 - On

• skew_control (int) –

  0 - Off

  1 - On

• edge_mesh_algorithm (int) –

  0 - Standard

  1 - Chordal deviation

• min_size (double) – The minimum element size when edge_mesh_algorithm = 1.

• max_size (double) – The maximum element size when edge_mesh_algorithm = 1.

• chordal_deviation (double) – The chordal deviation value when edge_mesh_algorithm = 1.

• max_angle (double) – The maximum angle between edges when edge_mesh_algorithm = 1.

• area_width (double) – The new width value.

• area_offset (double) – The new offset value.

Example

Update area connector with ID 10 with width 2.0 and mesh it with a default edge size of 1.0

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
connector_collection = hm.Collection(model, ent.Connector, [10])
model.CE_ConnectorAreaMeshWithDetails(
    collection=connector_collection,
    element_size=1.0,
    elem_type=1,
    elem_type2=1,
    link_opposite_edges=1,
    size_control=0,
    skew_control=0,
    edge_mesh_algorithm=0,
    min_size=0,
    max_size=0,
    chordal_deviation=0,
    max_angle=0,
    area_width=2.0,
    area_offset=0.0
