Model.linemesh_saveparameters#

Model.linemesh_saveparameters(segment, density, bias, bias_style)#

Assigns meshing parameters to line or node list segments for 1D meshing.

Each call to this function must be paired with a previous call to Model.linemesh_preparedata1() or Model.linemesh_preparenodeslist1().

Parameters:

  • segment (int) – The ID of the segment within the line or node list selection. This index is 0 based.

  • density (int) – The element density to use for that segment.

  • bias (double) – The biasing value of the element length to use along the given segment.

  • bias_style (int) –

    The style of biasing to use. Valid values are:

    0 - Linear.

    1 - Exponential.

    2 - Bell curve.

Example#

Mesh lines with ID 15 and 18 with a 30 degree break angle, with 3 elements in the first segment, and 2 elements in the second segment, creating rigid elements with no property#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Creating a collection of line entities which we will
# prepare for 1D meshing.
line_collection = hm.Collection(model, ent.Line, [15, 18])

model.linemesh_preparedata1(collection=line_collection, break_angle=30.0, 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)
