Model.morphupdateshapes

Model.morphupdateshapes(collection, mode)

Converts shapes to node, handle, or morph volume perturbations, convert shapes to load collectors and vice-versa, or correct shapes after perturbations are found on duplicate nodes or handles due to various operations.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the input shape or load collector entities.

• mode (int) –

  0 - Convert shape to handle perturbations

  1 - Convert shape to node perturbations

  2 - Add duplicate perturbations

  3 - Average duplicate perturbations

  4 - Convert shapes to forces

  5 - Convert forces to shapes

  6 - Convert shapes to temperatures

  7 - Convert temperatures to shapes

  8 - Convert shapes to pressures

  9 - Convert pressures to shapes

  10 - Converts all shapes and morphs on undo/redo list to node perturbations

  11 - Convert shapes to enforced displacements

  12 - Convert enforced displacements to shapes

  13 - Convert shapes to morph volume handle perturbations

  14 - Convert shapes to pressures. This creates pressures in the normal direction on all elements touching perturbed nodes.

  15 - Convert shapes to pressures. This creates pressures in the direction of the perturbation only on elements with all nodes perturbed.

  16 - Convert shapes to pressures. This creates pressures in the normal direction only on elements with all nodes perturbed.

  17 - Convert shapes to enforced displacements. This constrains the XYZ directions with zero perturbations.

Example

Convert all shapes for the mesh into force type load collectors

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.morphupdateshapes(collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Shape), mode=4)
