Model.recalculaterigidmainnode

Model.recalculaterigidmainnode(collection)

Computes the centroid of the secondary nodes of a rigid element or a constraint and places the main node at the centroid position.

Parameters:

collection (Collection) – The collection containing the rigid elements or constraints.

Example

Recalculate the location of the main node of the rigid element ID 26

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

rigid_elem = hm.Collection(model,ent.Element,[26])

model.recalculaterigidmainnode(rigid_elem)

recalculate the location of the main nodes of constraints “constraint1” and “constraint2”

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

const_col = hm.Collection(model,ent.Constraint,"name=constraint1,constraint2")

model.recalculaterigidmainnode(const_col)
