Model.hwCfdSceneShowHideIsolateEntity

Model.hwCfdSceneShowHideIsolateEntity(function, collection, consider_geom=1, consider_elems=1, unhighlight=1)

This function is used to manage the display of a collection of entities with an additional ability to show/hide the surfaces attached to the solid. This should be used in conjunction with the Model.hwCfdSceneShowHideIsolateEntity() and Model.hwCfdSceneShowAll() functions. This function is valid only for the CFD profile.

Parameters:

• function (hwString) –

  The string defining the operation to be performed on the collection of supported entities. Valid values are:

  hide - Turn off the display of the entities on the collection. If the selection filter is solid, the hidden surfaces are shown in transparent mode.

  isolate - Turn off the display of all the entities and only turn on the display of the entities on collection.

  reverse - Turn off all display of the entities on collection and turn on the display of hidden entities of the same entity type.

  show - Turn on the display of the entities on collection.

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities to modify. Valid entities are parts, regions, surfaces and solids.

• consider_geom (int) –

  0 - Do not consider the associated geometry

  1 - Consider the associated geometry. (default)

• consider_elems (int) –

  0 - Do not consider the associated elements

  1 - Consider the associated elements. (default)

• unhighlight (int) –

  0 - Do not remove highlighting

  1 - Remove highlighting. (default)

Example

Hiding surfaces with IDs 1-10, reversing the display, then showing all entities

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

surf_col = hm.Collection(model,ent.Surface,list(range(1,11)))

model.hwCfdSceneShowHideIsolateEntity(function="hide",collection=surf_col)
model.hwCfdSceneReverseAll(entity_type=ent.Surface)
model.hwCfdSceneShowAll()
