Model.orderchangetosecond

Model.orderchangetosecond(collection, doproject, tacitmode)

Converts first order elements to second order.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities to be converted.

• doproject (int) –

  0 - Places the new midside nodes at the exact midpoint

  1 - Projects the new midside nodes to the surfaces

• tacitmode (int) –

  0 - Does not project the new midside nodes to the inferred surface

  1 - Uses the inferred surface where there is no geometry

Example

Change first order elements to second order

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.orderchangetosecond(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [25, 26, 35, 26]),
    doproject=1,
    tacitmode=1,
)
