Model.hex_refinement#

Model.hex_refinement(collection1, collection2, refinement_level)#

Refines selected hexa elements while maintaining connectivity.

Parameters:

  • collection1 (Collection) – The collection containing the hexa element entities to be refined. Currently supported for elements.

  • collection2 (Collection) – The collection containing all the element entities attached to element in collection1. Currently supported for elements.

  • refinement_level (int) – The level of refinement. When refinement_level=1 will refine the hexa elements by splitting them to 1/3 of their original size.

Example#

Refine the displayed hexa elements to level 1#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

element_collection_1 = hm.CollectionByDisplayed(model, ent.Element)
element_collection_2 = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element)

model.hex_refinement(
    collection1=element_collection_1,
    collection2=element_collection_2,
    refinement_level=1,
)
