Model.flanges_detect#

Model.flanges_detect(comp_collection, max_width, min_width, flange_collection)#

Detects flanges within a minimum/maximum width range from the surfaces contained in the selected components. The flange surfaces are then placed on a collection.

Parameters:

  • comp_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the input component entities.

  • max_width (double) – The maximum width of the flanges to detect.

  • min_width (double) – The minimum width of the flanges to detect.

  • flange_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the ouput surface entities defining the detected flanges.

Example#

Find flanges between widths 5 and 20 for all components in the model, and place the surfaces on surface output collection#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

comps = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component)
surfs = hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, populate=False)

model.flanges_detect(
    comp_collection=comps, max_width=20, min_width=5, flange_collection=surfs
)
