Model.morphreflectshapemark

Model.morphreflectshapemark(s_collection, sym_collection, a_collection, mode, tol, con)

Reflects each shape on s_collection and reflect them according to each symmetry on sym_collection and affect only the nodes on a_collection. The shapes may be applied to the mesh, created as new shapes, added to existing shapes, or may replace existing shapes.

Parameters:

• s_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the input shape entities.

• sym_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the symmetry entities.

• a_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the target node entities.

• mode (int) –

  0 - Apply each shape to the mesh

  1 - Apply each shape and add the perturbations to the original shape

  2 - Apply each shape and overwrite the original shape

  3 - Apply each shape and create a new shape or shapes

  4 - Create a new shape or shapes but do not apply them to the mesh

• tol (double) – The “envelope” or distance around the translated shape inside which nodes are affected.

• con (int) –

  0 - Do not use constraints

  1 - Use constraints

Examples

Reflect the shape with ID 1 using the symmetry with ID 1 and apply it to the mesh

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.morphreflectshapemark(
    s_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Shape, [1]),
    sym_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Symmetry, [1]),
    a_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Node),
    mode=0,
    tol=3.0,
    con=1,
)

Reflect all shapes using all symmetries and create new shapes, but only on selected nodes

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.morphreflectshapemark(
    s_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Shape),
    sym_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Symmetry),
    a_collection=hm.Collection(
        model, ent.Node, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
    ),
    mode=4,
    tol=3.0,
    con=1,
)
