Model.duplicateandreflectskeletonentities

Model.duplicateandreflectskeletonentities(collection, symmetry_entity, duplicatemembersections=False)

Duplicates member joints, members and member panels and reflects them along the symmetry plane.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities to duplicate.

• symmetry_entity (Entity) – The object describing the plane entity along which the elements must be reflected.

• duplicatemembersections (bool) – The flag to indicate if member sections of the skeleton entities must be duplicated. Valid values are False and True. Default value is False.

Examples

Duplicate the member joint with ID 1 along symmetry plane 1

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.duplicateandreflectskeletonentities(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Memberjoint, [1]),
    symmetryid=ent.Symmetry(model, 1),
    duplicatemembersections=False,
)

Duplicate and reflect all members along symmetry plane with ID 2 and duplicate the member sections associated as well . This also duplicates and reflects the associated member joints

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.duplicateandreflectskeletonentities(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Member),
    symmetryid=ent.Symmetry(model, 2),
    duplicatemembersections=True,
)

Duplicate and reflect the member panel with ID 2 along symmetry plane with ID 1 . This also duplicates and reflects the associated member joints and members

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.duplicateandreflectskeletonentities(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Memberpanel, [2]),
    symmetryid=ent.Symmetry(model, 1),
    duplicatemembersections=True,
)
