Model.alignnode2

Model.alignnode2(end_node1, end_node2, node, ratio)

Aligns a node along the imaginary line between two other nodes, using a ratio coefficient.

Parameters:

• end_node1 (Entity) – The object describing the first end node.

• end_node2 (Entity) – The object describing the second end node.

• node (Entity) – The object describing the node to align.

• ratio (double) –

  The ratio that determines the alignment of node between end_node1 and end_node2.

  Note

  0.5 - Aligns node in the middle and behaves exactly as Model.alignnode().

  0 - Aligns node at the same location as end_node1.

  1 - Aligns node at the same location as end_node2.

  Other values are linearly interpolated in between.

Example

Align node with ID 100 between nodes with IDs 200 and 300 using a ratio of 0.25

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
model.alignnode (
    end_node1=ent.Node(model,200),
    end_node2=ent.Node(model,300),
    node=ent.Node(model,100),
    ratio=0.25
)
