Model.addicconnectivity#

Model.addicconnectivity(entity, inode_entity, dependency_array)#

Updates the connectivity of an IC element.

Parameters:

  • entity (Entity) – The object describing the IC element entity to update.

  • inode_entity (Entity) – The object describing the independent node entity.

  • dependency_array (hwIntList2) – The 2D integer list. The first list contains the IDs of the dependent nodes and the second list contains the associated DOF’s for each node. User can directly supply a 2D Python list (see example below).

Example#

Create an IC element and update the independent node to ID 15, and dependent nodes to ID [16,17,18,19] with DOF’s [123, 345, 1234, 123456]#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Create an IC element
model.icelementcreate()

model.addicconnectivity(
    entity=ent.Element(model, 1),
    inode_entity=ent.Node(model, 15),
    dependency_array=[[16, 17, 18, 19], [123, 345, 1234, 123456]],
