Model.elementqualitysplitedge#

Model.elementqualitysplitedge(element, edge_index, optimize=False)#

Splits an edge between two elements.

This function only functions between a Model.elementqualitysetup() function and a Model.elementqualityshutdown() function.

Current element quality criteria for optimization must be set before using this function. The function may be applied at any time without resetting the current quality criteria.

Parameters:

  • element (Entity) – The element entity.

  • edge_index (int) – The ID of the line to split.

  • optimize (bool) – Option to optimize the node after the split operation is performed (default False).

Example#

Split element with ID 20 and line 2 with optimization#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

collection = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, populate=True)
model.elementqualitysetup_new(collection=collection)

element = ent.Element(model, 20)
model.elementqualitysplitedge(element=element, edge_index=2, optimize=True)

model.elementqualityshutdown(dontsaveflag=0)
