Model.penetrationdisplay

Model.penetrationdisplay(contact_thickness, part_thickness_scale, display_mode, normal_scale, label, segment_orientation, magnitude_mode)

Displays the amount of penetration through nodes, vectors, or contour.

Parameters:

• contact_thickness (double) – Supplied value of the contact thickness.

• part_thickness_scale (double) – Supplied value of the part thickness scale.

• display_mode (int) –

  Type of mode used to display penetration.

  0 - Nodes

  1 - Normal

  2 - Contour

• normal_scale (double) – Value \(\gt\) 0 - uniform size or % of magnitude of vectors.

• label (int) –

  The vector label option.

  0 - Vector labels off

  1 - Vector labels on

• segment_orientation (int) –

  Flag for taking element normal into consideration for checking penetration.

  0 - Elements normal will not be considered

  1 - Elements normal will be considered

• magnitude_mode (int) –

  Determines if a magnitude percentage or a uniform size is to be used.

  0 - Uniform size

  1 - Percentage of magnitude

Example

For displaying the amount of penetration if a contact thickness supplied is 1.5, part thickness scale supplied is 1.0, display mode is normal, percentage of magnitude used is 50%, vector labels are on, and segment orientation and percentage of magnitude are used

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.penetrationdisplay(
    contact_thickness=1.5,
    part_thickness_scale=1.0,
    display_mode=1.0,
    normal_scale=0.5,
    label=1,
    segment_orientation=1,
    magnitude_mode=1,
)

Note

The penetrationcheck(), penetrationchecktwo(), or penetrationrecheck() function is required.
