Model.morphmaptshpface

Model.morphmaptshpface(d_collection, e_collection, s_collection, plane_normal, plane_base, nproj, c_vec, clear, sym, con, type)

Maps a 2D domain to a plane, a collection of surfaces, or a collection of elements either normal to the target or along a vector. When mapping to surfaces or a mesh the option to fit the domain to the entities is available.

This function is part of the map to geometry function which consists of multiple functions. This function may be called any number of times, first with clear=1 set to then subsequently clear=1, followed either by one of the many morphmapto...() functions. If clear=1 then the last Model.morphmaptshpface() function is rejected.

Parameters:

• d_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the domain entities to be mapped.

• e_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities to which the domain entities are mapped.

• s_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the surface entities to which the domain entities are mapped.

• plane_normal (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the plane normal components. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• plane_base (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the base point components of the plane. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• nproj (int) –

  0 - Project along vector given by c_vec

  1 - Project normal to geometry

  2 - Project normal to elements of the domain

  3 - Fit to target

• c_vec (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the vector components. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• clear (int) –

  Determine if/how to delete perturbations:

  0 - Add perturbation

  1 - Clear temporary and add perturbation

  2 - Reject last Model.morphmaptshpface() operation

• sym (int) – 0 - Do not use symmetry

• con (int) – 1 - Use constraints

• type (int) –

  The type of target to be mapped to:

  2 - Plane

  3 - Surface

  4 - Elements

Example

Map the 2D domain with ID 10 to a surface use the fitting option

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.morphmaptshpface(
    d_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Domain, [10]),
    e_collection=hm.CollectionByInteractiveSelection(model, ent.Element),
    s_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [3]),
    plane_normal=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    plane_normal_base=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    nproj=3,
    c_vec=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    clear=1,
    sym=0,
    con=1,
    type=3,
