Model.marksmoothelements

Model.marksmoothelements(tosmoothcollection, toanchorcollection, smoothmethod, iterations)

Applies a smoothing algorithm to a collection of elements for a given number of iterations. Optionally, one or more nodes may be specified as being anchored in place and not movable.

Parameters:

• tosmoothcollection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities to be smoothed.

• toanchorcollection (Collection) – The collection containing the node entities on those elements that are not adjustable.

• smoothmethod (int) –

  The smoothing method to use.

  1 - autodecide

  2 - size corrected

  3 - shape corrected

  4 - angle corrected

• iterations (int) – The number of times to apply the smoothing operator.

Example

Smooth elements with IDs 100 through 110 twelve times with no nodes fixed

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

Elements = hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, list(range(100, 111)))
Nodes = hm.Collection(model, ent.Node, [2])
model.marksmoothelements(
    tosmoothcollection=Elements, toanchorcollection=Nodes, smoothmethod=1, iterations=12
)
