Model.linemesh_preparenodeslist1

Model.linemesh_preparenodeslist1(entitylist, config)

Prepares the selected node list for 1D meshing.

Each call to this function must be paired with a call to Model.linemesh_savedata1() or Model.linemesh_savedata_bar1() to clean up memory.

Parameters:

• entitylist (EntityList) – The list containing the node entities to be prepared for 1D meshing.

• config (int) – If configuration of the element to create. Only 1D configs are valid.

Example

Mesh between nodes with IDs 16 , 17 , and 2 with 3 rigid elements between nodes with IDs 16 and 17 and with 2 rigid elements between nodes 17 and 2 , with no property assignment

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Creating a collection of node entities which we will
# prepare for 1D meshing.

node_list = [ent.Node(model, 16), ent.Node(model, 17), ent.Node(model, 2)]

model.linemesh_preparenodeslist1(entitylist=node_list, config=5)

# Assing meshing parameters to line segments for 1D meshing.
model.linemesh_saveparameters(segment=0, density=3, bias=0, bias_style=0)

model.linemesh_saveparameters(segment=1, density=2, bias=0, bias_style=0)

# Creating 1D elements and cleans up memory.
model.linemesh_savedata1(create_flag=1, config=5, property_id=0, organize=0)
