Model.change_edgedensities#

Model.change_edgedensities(collection, mode, density, refedge)#

Changes the densities of selected surface edges and remeshes the adjacent surfaces, according to the specified mode. This is an automesh function.

Parameters:

  • collection (Collection) – The collection containing the input surface entities.

  • mode (int) –

    The method used to assign the density to the surface edges:

    1 - Set edge density to the density value.

    2 - Increment/decrement the edge density by the density value. A positive density will increment while a negative density will decrement.

    3 - Set edge density to be the same as on reference edge refedge.

  • density (int) – The density value to assign to the surface edges on collection. Valid with mode 1 and 2.

  • refedge (Entity) – The line entity defining the edge used when mode =3.

Examples#

Set edge density to 10 on edge with ID 208#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model

model.change_edgedensities(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Line, [208]), mode=1, density=10, refedge=None
)
Increment by 1 density on edge with ID 208#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model

model.change_edgedensities(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Line, [208]), mode=2, density=1, refedge=None
)
Decrement by 2 densities on edges with ID 208 and 209#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model

model.change_edgedensities(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Line, [208, 209]), mode=2, density=-2, refedge=None
)
Decrement by 2 densities on edges with ID 208 and 209#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model

model.change_edgedensities(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Line, [229, 222, 219]), mode=3, density=0, refedge=ent.Line(model,211)
)
