Model.gap_sealing#

Model.gap_sealing(collection1, collection2, controls, database=0)#

Creates patches to close the gap between components.

Parameters:

  • collection1 (Collection) – The first collection containing the input entities. Valid entity classes are elements and components.

  • collection2 (Collection) – The second collection containing the input entities. Valid entity classes are elements and components.

  • controls (hwString) – The string defining the command parameters. Valid options are leakMode, leakSize, maxSize, proximity, patchOrganization, maxSnapAnglem, seed, and target.

  • database (int) –

    The flag defining which database is used as the input.

    0 - HyperMesh database

    2 - Display representation

Example#

Create patches such that the selected input does not leak with leak size equal to 5.0 and the seed being a point indicating the “inside” of the input#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

comps = hm.CollectionByDisplayed(model, ent.Component)

empty = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component, False)

model.gap_sealing(
    collection1=comps,
    collection2=empty,
    controls="leakSize:5.0, maxsize:0.0, seed: 4000.0 0.0 1500.0, target: ()",
    database=2
)
Create patches to close the gap between components within distance of 10.0#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

comps = hm.CollectionByDisplayed(model, ent.Component)

empty = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component, False)

model.gap_sealing(
    collection1=comps,
    collection2=empty,
    controls="proximity:10.0",
    database=2
)
Create patches to close the gap between components within distance of 10.0#
import hm

model = hm.Model()

comps1 = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component, [1,2,3])

comps2 = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component, [4,5,6])

model.gap_sealing(
    collection1=comps1,
    collection2=comps2,
    controls="proximity:10.0, patchOrganization:0",
    database=0
