Model.CE_ConnectorSetVectorById#

Model.CE_ConnectorSetVectorById(ce_id, type, i, j, k, vector, node1, node2)#

Sets the projection vector for a connector specified by ID.

Parameters:

  • ce_id (unsigned int) – The connector entity ID.

  • type (unsigned int) –

    The method used to set the vector:

    0 - Use i, j, and k values (see arguments below). These should be specified as the next 3 arguments to this function.

    1- Requires a vector id (see vector below) from which the vector i, j, and k will be taken internally. The i, j, and k syntax arguments can be set as 0.0.

    2 - Requires the two node id’s (node1 and node2 below) as the last two arguments to this function. These node ID’s will be required to create a vector, and assigned to the ce_id. The rest of the above arguments can be set as 0.0. These two nodes should not be coincident.

  • i (double) – 1st of 3 float numbers defining a vector. Only applies when type=0.

  • j (double) – 2nd of 3 float numbers defining a vector. Only applies when type=0.

  • k (double) – 3rd of 3 float numbers defining a vector. Only applies when type=0.

  • vector (Entity) – HyperMesh vector entity ID. Only applies when type=1.

  • node1 (Entity) – 1st node ID to define a vector in HyperMesh. Only applies when type=2.

  • node2 (Entity) – 2nd node ID to define a vector in HyperMesh. Only applies when type=2.

Example#

Set a projection vector for connector with ID 1 using vector with ID 3#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.CE_ConnectorSetVectorById(
    ce_id=1,
    type=1,
    i=0.0,
    j=0.0,
    k=0.0,
    vector=ent.Vector(model, 3),
    node1=None,
    node2=None,
)

Note

The connector’s projection vector will be used during the realization process.
