Model.linestoelementsaddelemsfixed

Model.linestoelementsaddelemsfixed(collection, elem_size)

Generates plot elements along selected lines with a given density. These plot elements are then used as feature edges for element remeshing. The use of this function implies that it will be followed by a function that performs meshing/remeshing of elements.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the line entities that should be considered to form feature edges in subsequent element remesh operations.

• elem_size (double) – The default element edge size used to calculate element densities along the constructed feature edges.

Example

Remeshe the displayed elements and create feature edges with element size 10.0 along lines with IDs 1600 and 1601

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

remesh_elems_col = hm.CollectionByDisplayed(model, ent.Element)

model.setusefeatures(mode=1)

# Creating feauture edges plot elements
lines_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Line, [1600, 1601])
model.linestoelementsaddelemsfixed(collection=lines_col, elem_size=10.0)

# Remeshing
model.defaultremeshelems(
    collection=remesh_elems_col,
    elem_size=3.0,
