Model.morphmapnormaloffset

Model.morphmapnormaloffset(collectionelem, collectionfix, sym, con, blend, offset, umark)

Offsets elements on collection in normal direction.

Parameters:

• collectionelem (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities to map.

• collectionfix (Collection) – The collection containing the fixed node entities.

• sym (int) – 0 - Do not use symmetry (only option).

• con (int) –

  0 - Do not use constraints

  1 - Use constraints

• blend (int) –

  0 - Do no blend unselected nodes

  1 - Blend nodes between mapped and fixed nodes

• offset (double) – Distance to offset elements

• umark (int) –

  0 - Use all elements to calculate normals

  1 - Use selected elements to calculate normals

  2 - Use CFD corners

  Adding 10 to any value use only elements on mark for normal calculation. Otherwise, all elements are used.

Example

If blend is on, no fixed nodes have been selected, and no mapped nodes are a part of any domain, this function will automatically assign all non-mapped nodes as fixed nodes

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.morphmapnormaloffset(
    collectionelem=hm.CollectionByInteractiveSelection(model, ent.Element),
    collectionfix=hm.CollectionByInteractiveSelection(model, ent.Node),
    sym=0,
    con=1,
    blend=0,
    offset=10.0,
    umark=1,
)
