Model.penetrationrecheck

Model.penetrationrecheck(collection, reduction, scale, display_mode, normal_scale, label, segment, magnitude_mode)

Modifies the element thickness to correct penetration problems.

Parameters:

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

• reduction (double) – The average thickness reduction.

• scale (double) – The thickness scale factor.

• display_mode (int) –

  The type of entity to be displayed.

  0 - Nodes

  1 - Normals

  2 - Contour

• normal_scale (double) – The magnitude percentage or the uniform size.

• label (int) –

  The label vector option.

  0 - Vector labels off

  1 - Vector labels on

• segment (int) –

  The segment orientation option.

  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 - Magnitude percentage

Example

Modify the element thickness

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Creating the collection that contains the elements from the group named "E2E"
filter = hm.FilterByCollection(ent.Element, ent.Group)
groups_collection = hm.Collection(model, ent.Group, "name=E2E")
elements_collection = hm.Collection(model, filter, groups_collection)

model.penetrationrecheck(
    collection=elements_collection,
    reduction=0,
    scale=1.0,
    display_mode=0,
    normal_scale=1.0,
    label=1,
    segment=1,
    magnitude_mode=1,
)
