Model.addedgesorfaces

Model.addedgesorfaces(entity, collection=Collection(), face_indices=hwIntListList(), edge_indices=hwIntListList(), reversenormal=0, main=1)

Adds faces of solid elements or edges of shell elements using a specific edge/face number to a segment set or contact surface. Creates interface elements on edges of shell elements or faces of solid elements using specific edge/face numbers.

Parameters:

• entity (Entity) – The object describing the entity.

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the shell/solid element entities.

• face_indices (hwIntListList) – The face indices of solid elements.

• edge_indices (hwIntListList) – The edge indices of shell elements.

• reversenormal (unsigned int) –

  Determines if the secondary elements should be reversed when created. Applicable for contact. Valid options are:

  0 - Along element normal

  1 - Opposite element normal

• main (unsigned int) –

  Determines if main or secondary interface elements are created. Applicable for contact. Valid options are:

  1 - Main

  0 - Secondary

Examples

Add faces with IDs [ 1 , 2 ] of solid elements with IDs 10 , 11 to segment set with ID 1

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

input_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [10, 11])

model.addedgesorfaces(
    entity=ent.Set(model, 1),
    collection=input_col,
    face_indices=hm.hwIntListList([hm.hwIntList([1, 2]), hm.hwIntList([1, 2])]),
    reversenormal=1,
)

Add edges with IDs [ 1 , 2 ] of shell elements with ID 10 , 11 to segment set with ID 1

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

input_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [10, 11])

model.addedgesorfaces(
    entity=ent.Set(model, 1),
    collection=input_col,
    edge_indices=hm.hwIntListList([hm.hwIntList([1, 2]), hm.hwIntList([1, 2])]),
    reversenormal=1,
)

Add edges with IDs [ 1 , 2 ] of shell elements with ID 10 , 11 to contactsurf with ID 1

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

input_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [10, 11])

model.addedgesorfaces(
    entity=ent.Contactsurf(model, 1),
    collection=input_col,
    edge_indices=hm.hwIntListList([hm.hwIntList([1, 2]), hm.hwIntList([1, 2])]),
    reversenormal=1,
)

Create secondary interface elements on faces with IDs [ 1 , 2 ] of solid elements with ID 10 , 11 on interface ( group ) with ID 1

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

input_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [10, 11])

model.addedgesorfaces(
    entity=ent.Group(model, 1),
    collection=input_col,
    face_indices=hm.hwIntListList([hm.hwIntList([1, 2]), hm.hwIntList([1, 2])]),
    reversenormal=1,
    main=0
)
