Model.elemswarpagefix

Model.elemswarpagefix(collection, criteria_file_path, max_move, break_mode, feature_angle)

Attempts to fix quad elements violating warpage criteria threshold. If necessary, tries to move nodes normal to surfaces.

Parameters:

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

• criteria_file_path (hwString) – The path to the criteria file. Use “dummy” for using the current criteria, set separately.

• max_move (double) – The limit for node movement normal to the surface.

• break_mode (int) –

  Specifies how node associativity of moved nodes is handled. Valid values are:

  0 - Associativity is broken for moved nodes.

  1 - Associativity is broken for all nodes of an element that has a moved node.

  2 - Associativity is not broken.

• feature_angle (double) – The element feature angle in degrees.

Example

Fix the displayed elements , use the criteria file C:/my_criteria / criteria.txt , with a maximum move of 0.1 , without break surface associativity

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

elems = hm.CollectionByDisplayed(model,ent.Element)

model.elemswarpagefix(
    collection=elems,
    criteria_file_path="C:/my_criteria/criteria.txt",
    max_move=0.1,
    break_mode=2,
    feature_angle=30.0
)
