Model.barelementorientbysystem#

Model.barelementorientbysystem(collection, vector, system_id)#

Orients bar elements along a given direction with respect to an input system.

Parameters:

  • collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities to orient.

  • vector (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the vector components. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

  • system_id (unsigned int) – The ID of the local system For global system, set as 0.

Example#

Orient elements with IDs 1-4 along the x-direction with respect to local system with ID 1#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

elems = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, list(range(1, 5)))

model.barelementorientbysystem(
    collection=elems, vector=(1, 0, 0), system_id=1
)
