Model.createcaero2bodymeshing#

Model.createcaero2bodymeshing(componentid, halfwidths, igid, interferenceangles, length, location, systemid, bodyname='', mode=0, nint=0, nsb=0, tableid1=0, tableid2=0)#

Creates a component for aeroelastic panel mesh CAERO2.

Parameters:

  • componentid (int) – The start value for component and element numbering.

  • halfwidths (hwDoubleList) – The list describing halfwidth or radius of the body at each interval along the length of body. A single value makes a body with a constant radius.

  • igid (int) – The interference group identifier.

  • interferenceangles (hwDoubleList) – The angles along the radial direction of the body elements.

  • length (double) – The length of the body in the local x direction of the aerodynamic coordinate system.

  • location (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the coordinates of the origin point. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

  • systemid (int) – The ID of the system for locating the origin point.

  • bodyname (hwString) – The name of the CAERO2 body entity. If not specified, CAERO2_<componentid> is used.

  • mode (int) –

    Valid options:

    0 - Create component (default)

    1 - Update component

  • nint (int) – The number of interface elements. If not provided, must specify tableid2.

  • nsb (int) – The number of slenderbody elements. If not provided, must specify tableid1.

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

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

Example#

Create an aero component with ID 62001 , with 10 slenderbody elements (nsb=10 ) , and 6 interface elements (nint=6 )#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Creating an aero component with ID 62001, nsb=10, and nint=6
