Model.linear1delements

Model.linear1delements(collection1, collection2, node11, node12, node13, node21, node22, node23, density, config)

Creates 1D elements between two sets of plate elements.

Parameters:

• collection1 (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities of the first group of plate elements.

• collection2 (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities of the second group of plate elements.

• node11 (Entity) – The first alignment node entity for the first group of elements.

• node12 (Entity) – The second alignment node entity for the first group of elements.

• node13 (Entity) – The third alignment node entity for the first group of elements.

• node21 (Entity) – The first alignment node entity for the second group of elements.

• node22 (Entity) – The second alignment entity node for the second group of elements.

• node23 (Entity) – The third alignment node entity for the second group of elements.

• density (int) – The number of elements being created between the two sets of plate elements.

• config (int) – The config number for the 1D element (plot, rod, etc.).

Example

Create four 1D elements between elements with IDs 5 , 6 , 7 with alignment nodes with IDs 10, 11, 12 and elements with IDs 10 , 23 , 34 with alignment nodes with IDs 15, 30, 45, with configuration 61
