Model.nodecreatebetweennodes

Model.nodecreatebetweennodes(entity, node_list, num_intervals_array, biasstyle, biasintensity, options)

Creates nodes or points at points on given line or surface, between given nodes. The input nodes are first projected onto the line or surface. The nodes/points are created between these projected points.

Parameters:

• entity (Entity) – The object describing the entity on which nodes are going to be created. Valid entities are lines and surfaces.

• node_list (EntityList) – The list of nodes, between which additional nodes are going to be created.

• num_intervals_array (hwIntList) – The list containing the number of intervals to be created between each node in the node_list.

• biasstyle (int) –

  The type of biasing to use:

  0 - Linear biasing

  1 - Exponential biasing

  2 - Bell-curve biasing

• biasintensity (double) – The biasing intensity value. This value must be between -20 and 20.

• options (int) –

  Parameter specifying whether nodes or points are created. Valid values are:

  0 - Nodes created.

  1 - Points created.

Example

Create nodes on line with ID 12 , between nodes with IDs 8 , 10 and 11 , such that you want 20 intervals between the nodes with IDs 8 and 10 , and 5 intervals between the nodes with IDs 10 and 11

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.nodecreatebetweennodes(
    entity=ent.Line(model, 12),
    node_list=[ent.Node(model, 8), ent.Node(model, 10), ent.Node(model, 11)],
    num_intervals_array=[20, 5],
    biasstyle=0,
    biasintensity=0.0,
    options=0,
