Model.meshutils_cutelements_2points(element_collection, c1x, c1y, c1z, c2x, c2y, c2z, spc_collector_name, box_collector_name, dof_array=s_defaultDoubleList)

Cut elements with a box defined by 2 diagonal points.

Parameters:

• element_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities that needs to be cut.

• c1x (double) – The x-coordinate of point 1.

• c1y (double) – The y-coordinate of point 1.

• c1z (double) – The z-coordinate of point 1.

• c2x (double) – The x-coordinate of point 2.

• c2y (double) – The y-coordinate of point 2.

• c2z (double) – The z-coordinate of point 2.

• spc_collector_name (hwString) –

  The name of the collector in which the spcs will be created for constraining cut elements.

  No entities will be created if the name is an empty string.

• box_collector_name (hwString) –

  The name of the collector in which a hexa might be created to show the cutbox.

  No entities will be created if the name is an empty string.

• dof_array (hwDoubleList) – Reserved for future development. Do not set anything different from the default value.

Example

Cut elements 2D quads and trias elements with a box defined by 2 points
