Model.admasconnectivityupdatemultentselectwithvisnod

Model.admasconnectivityupdatemultentselectwithvisnod(mass_elem_entity, collection, additional_node_collection, vis_node_entity)

Updates mass elements. A visualization node is used when updating and the number of selected entities is greater than one. This is because a set is automatically created from those entities and attached to the mass element.

Parameters:

• mass_elem_entity (Entity) – The object describing the mass element to update.

• collection (Collection) – The collection of entities containing the nodes which the mass element will be updated with. Valid entity types are components, materials, blocks, properties, sets and nodes.

• additional_node_collection (Collection) – The collection containing any additional nodes.

• vis_node_entity (Entity) – The visualization node entity.

Example

Update mass element with ID 100 , using components with IDs 1 - 3 and visualization node with ID 50

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
comps = hm.Collection(model,ent.Component,[1,2,3])
model.admasconnectivityupdatemultentselectwithvisnod(
    mass_elem_entity=ent.Element(model,100),
    collection=comps,
    additional_node_collection=hm.Collection(model,ent.Node,populate=False),
    vis_node_entity=ent.Node(model,50)
)
