Model.admascreatemultentselectwithsets

Model.admascreatemultentselectwithsets(collection, additional_node_collection, vis_node_entity, type, magnitude, attach_sets_flag)

Creates mass elements with the option to create the mass on the independent entities or to create a set out of those entities and attach the set to the element mass created.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection of entities containing the nodes which the mass element will be created 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 object describing the entity.

• type (int) – The mass solver type. This depends on the current template.

• magnitude (double) – The magnitude of the mass.

• attach_sets_flag (int) –

  Indicates whether to create the mass on the independent selected entities or to create a set out of those entities and create the mass on the set.

  0 - Do not create set.

  1 - Create set.

Example

Create a mass element using components with IDs 1 - 3 as a set , visualization node with ID 50 , solver type 3 and magnitude of 5.5

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
comps = hm.Collection(model,ent.Component,[1,2,3])
model.admascreatemultentselectwithsets(
    collection=comps,
    additional_node_collection=hm.Collection(model,ent.Node,populate=False),
    vis_node_entity=ent.Node(model,50),
    type=3,
    magnitude=5.5,
    attach_sets_flag=1
