Model.createcaero1panelmeshing(component, locations, tableid1=0, tableid2=0, span=0, chord=0, igid=0, createproperty=1, mode=0, panelname='', propertyname='', systemid=0)#

Creates a component for aeroelastic panel mesh CAERO1.

Parameters:

  • component (Entity) – The object describing the component entity which ID is the start value for component and element numbering.

  • locations (hwDoubleList) – The list describing the coordinates of 4 corner points (12 values).

  • tableid1 (int) – The ID of an AEFACT table containing the list of division points for spanwise boxes. Used only if span is not provided.

  • tableid2 (int) – The ID of an AEFACT table containing the list of division points for chordwise boxes. Used only if chord is not provided.

  • span (int) – The number of spanwise boxes. If not provided, must specify tableid1.

  • chord (int) – The number of chordwise boxes. If not provided, must specify tableid2.

  • igid (int) – The interference group identifier.

  • createproperty (int) –

    Valid options:

    0 - Do not create PAERO1

    1 - Create PAERO1 (default)

  • mode (int) –

    Valid options:

    0 - Create component (default)

    1 - Update component

  • panelname (hwString) – The name of the CAERO1 panel entity. If not specified, CAERO1_<ID of component> is used.

  • propertyname (hwString) – The name of the PAERO1 property entity. If not specified, PAERO1_<ID of component> is used.

  • systemid (int) – The ID of the system for locating points 1 and 4.

Example#

Create an aero component with ID 60001 use tables with IDs 31001 and 31002#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
