Model.manualsplit_applypatterns

Model.manualsplit_applypatterns(edge_split_count, triplets)

Splits shell elements with specific patterns, and automatically splits attached 1Ds.

Parameters:

• edge_split_count (int) –

  The number of split points on element edges. Valid values are ≥ 0.

  This is valid only for tria patterns 106, 107, and 108, and quad patterns 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105.

• triplets (hwString) –

  Uniquely determines a split pattern to be applied on a given element. This is a space separated and quoted list of triplets, with each triplet consisting of 3 colon separated values "Ai:Bi:Ci". These values are:

  Ai - The element ID.

  Bi - The split pattern ID. Valid tria patterns are 32, 33, 68, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 88, 106, 107, 108. Valid quad patterns are 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, 59, 66, 72, 73, 77, 78, 79, 85, 86, 87, 89, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105.

  Ci - The shell element side ID. Valid values are [0, n] where n = element edge/sides count.

  The split patterns are following below:

  Pattern Name	Pattern ID	Image
  Quad0000	10
  Quad0000	85
  Quad0000	86
  Quad0000	89

Examples

Split element with ID 100 with 4 edge splits, using pattern 106 and side 2

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.manualsplit_applypatterns(edge_split_count=4, triplets="100:106:2")

Split multiple elements with 1 edge split, using different patterns and sides

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.manualsplit_applypatterns(edge_split_count=1, triplets="4:17:1 14:89:0 47:86:0 61:17:3")
