Model.CE_ConnectorGroup

Model.CE_ConnectorGroup(connector_collection, group)

Groups or ungroups seam connectors on mark to behave as a single/multiple seam connector(s).

Parameters:

• connector_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities that needs to be updated.

• group (int) –

  Specifies if the individual connectors on the specified mark must be grouped to behave as a single connector.

  0 = ungroup

  1 = group

Example

Group the connectors with IDs 1, 2 and 3 on connector_collection

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.CE_ConnectorGroup(
    connector_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Connector, [1, 2, 3]), group=1
)

Note

The individual connectors are grouped only if the distance between their end points is within a small tolerance value. A valid case for grouping is when connectors are created from continuous line segments. The grouped connectors behave as a single connector (during realization the weld nodes are shared among adjacent test points of connectors in group).
