Model.reviewmaterialorientation_option

Model.reviewmaterialorientation_option(collection, only_orient, normal_size, color, option)

Reads and plots the first axis of the element (material) coordinate system for selected elements with option for Abaqus. When review is complete, the function Model.vectorsoff() must be run.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the entities to review. Valid entities are elements and properties.

• only_orient (int) –

  0 - The new x-element directions are shown as continuous gradient lines starting and ending on free edges.

  1 - The new x-element directions are displayed as vectors starting from the element centroid.

• normal_size (double) – If only_orient=1, this defines the size of the displayed vectors.

• color (int) – The color of the vectors or lines. Valid values are 1-64.

• option (int) –

  Option for review customization. Valid values are:

  1 - Abaqus rebar layer will be reviewed

Example

Review the element (material) coordinate system along rebar layer of the displayed elements with blue vectors of size 3.0

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.reviewmaterialorientation_option(
    collection=hm.CollectionByDisplayed(model,ent.Element),
    only_orient=1,
    normal_size=3.0,
    color=7,
    option=1,
)
