Model.calculateElemDrapingAngles

Model.calculateElemDrapingAngles(collection, result_file, table_name, fiber_vector, stamping_vector, ply_id)

Updates connectors with entities.

Parameters:

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

• result_file (hwString) – Reserved for future development. Must be set to “”.

• table_name (hwString) – The name of the table entity to use for storing the results.

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

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

• ply_id (int) – The ID of the ply.

Example

Calculate the draping angle of elements associated with ply with ID 10.0 having fiber direction (1.0,0.0,0.0) and stamping direction (0.0,1.0,0.0)

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.calculateElemDrapingAngles(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, hm.Collection(model, ent.Ply, [10])),
    result_file="",
    table_name="drapetable",
    fiber_vector=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    stamping_vector=[0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
    ply_id=10,
