Model.pressuresonentity

Model.pressuresonentity(collection, nodes_collection, x, y, z, magnitude, breakangle, onface)

Creates a pressure load on a surface or an element.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities on which to apply the pressure.

• nodes_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the node entities that lie on the face of one or more elements (solids only).

• x (double) – X component of pressure.

• y (double) – Y component of pressure.

• z (double) – Z component of pressure.

• magnitude (double) – The magnitude of the pressure.

• breakangle (double) – The break angle of a solid face.

• onface (int) – A logical which determines whether pressures are being applied to faces.

Example

Apply a pressure of 4.0 on surface with ID 11

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.pressuresonentity(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [11]),
    nodes_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Node, populate=False),
    x=0.0,
    y=0.0,
    z=0.0,
    magnitude=4.0,
    breakangle=30.0,
    onface=1,
)
