Model.elementqualityswapedgenew(element_id, edge_index)#

Switches the connectivity of the two elements that share the specified edge to the next legal configuration.

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

Parameters:

  • element_id (int) – The element ID.

  • edge_index (int) – The index of the edge to swap, starting from 0.

Example#

Swap elements with ID 27 with edge with ID 3 , elements with ID 22 with edge with ID 0 , elements with ID 21 with edge with ID 2 and elements with ID 26 with edge with ID 1#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

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

model.elementqualityswapedgenew(element_id=27, edge_index=3)
model.elementqualityswapedgenew(element_id=22, edge_index=0)
model.elementqualityswapedgenew(element_id=21, edge_index=2)
model.elementqualityswapedgenew(element_id=26, edge_index=1)

model.elementqualityshutdown(dontsaveflag=1)
