Model.realizehmentity#

Model.realizehmentity(collection, targetentitytype=hm.entities.elements.Element)#

Realizes HyperMesh entities. Constraints are realized to elements or groups based on targetentitytype. Solvermasses are realized to nonstructural mass properties in Abaqus.

Parameters:

  • collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities to realize. Currently supported entity types are constraints and solvermasses.

  • targetentitytype (EntityFullType) – The type of the target entity. Valid values are elements and groups. Currently only supported for collection of constraints.

Examples#

Realize all constraints to elements#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.realizehmentity(collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Constraint))
Realize all solvermass entities#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.realizehmentity(collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Solvermass))
Realize the solvermass entities with IDs 1,2#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.realizehmentity(collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Solvermass, [1, 2]))
