Model.elementtestorthogonality

Model.elementtestorthogonality(input_collection, orthogonality, output_collection, dimension, contour, title)

Tests 3D elements for whether or not they pass the orthogonality element quality check, and puts those that fail on the specified outputmark.

Parameters:

• input_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities to test.

• orthogonality (double) – The value to use as a threshold beyond which elements should be considered to have failed the test.

• output_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the failed element entities.

• dimension (int) –

  A code telling to measure the dimension of:

  4 - Measure 3D elements.

• contour (int) –

  A code telling if should:

  0 - Display the results of the test normally.

  1 - Display the elements color coded by their ratings.

  2 - Build a histogram showing the distribution of ratings.

• title (hwString) – The title to label the curve in the histogram.

Example

Testing all displayed 3D elements for an orthogonality value less than 0.2

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

elems1 = model.CreateCollectionByDisplayed(ent.Element)
elems2 = hm.Collection(model, hm.FilterByEnumeration(ent.Element, ids=hm.hwUIntList([])))

model.elementtestorthogonality(input_collection,orthogonality,output_collection,dimension,contour,title)
    input_collection=elems1,
    orthogonality=0.2,
    output_collection=elems2,
    dimension=4,
    contour=0,
    title="3D Orthogonality"
