Model.copymark

Model.copymark(collection, name, disable_fe_geom_duplicate, copy_elems_with_surf)

Copies entities from one collector to another.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities to copy. Any entity type (aside from main/secondary elements) is valid.

• name (hwString) – The name of the collector to copy the entities to. The collector type is determined by the entity type of the entities in the collection.

• disable_fe_geom_duplicate (int) – Parameter to disable FE geom duplicate option when copying elements. Valid values are 1 and 0. If set to 1, the option fe_geom_dupl in the preferences will be disabled for the function and FE geometry will not be created upon element duplication.

• copy_elems_with_surf (int) – Option to copy elements along with surfaces. Valid values are 1 and 0. If set to 1, elements associated to the original surface are copied and the newly created elements will be associated to the new surfaces.

Examples

Copy all elements in “comp1” to “comp2”

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.copymark(
    collection=hm.Collection(
        model, ent.Element, hm.Collection(model, ent.Component, "name=comp1")
    ),
    name="comp2",
    disable_fe_geom_duplicate=0,
    copy_elems_with_surf=0,
)

Copy all surfaces in “surface_mesh” component along with elements in “comp2”

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.copymark(
    collection=hm.Collection(
        model, ent.Surface, hm.Collection(model, ent.Component, "name=surface_mesh")
    ),
    name="comp2",
    disable_fe_geom_duplicate=1,
    copy_elems_with_surf=1,
)
