Model.createintersectionsegments#

Model.createintersectionsegments(collector, flag=0, param=0.0)#

Creates intersection segments as plot elements from the results of model.hm_collisioncheck(). model.hm_collisioncheck() must be run with the save_segments option specified before running this function. This function must also be called before model.hm_collisionend() is called.

Parameters:

  • collector (int) –

    0 - Create segments as plot elements in a component named ^intersection_segments.

    1 - Create segments as plot elements in the current component.

  • flag (int) – Reserved for future development.

  • param (double) – Reserved for future development.

Example#

Find intersect surfaces from IDs 1-10 and create intersection segments#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

checking_surfs = hm.Collection(model,ent.Surface,list(range(1,11)))
intersect_surfs = hm.Collection(model,ent.Surface,populate=False)


model.hm_collisioninit()
model.hm_collisionentitycreate(collection=checking_surfs,dimension=0,thickness_type=1,thickness=0,edge_penetration=0,midside_nodes=0,split_quads=0,used_topology=0,grouping_identifier=False,offset=0)
model.hm_collisioncheck(intersected_surfaces=intersect_surfs,store_segments=True)
model.createintersectionsegments(collector=0)
model.hm_collisionend()

print("Intersected surfaces: ", [s.id for s in intersect_surfs])
