Model.reviewsystem#

Model.reviewsystem(collection, onlyorient, normal_size, color)#

Reads and plots the x-axis of the element (material) coordinate system for selected elements.

Parameters:

  • collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities to read and plot the x axis of the element (material) system.

  • onlyorient (int) –

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

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

  • normal_size (double) – If onlyorient = 1, it determines the size of the vectors to be displayed.

  • color (int) – Determines the color of the vector or line. The color ID numbers range from 1 to 64. Have to put in weblink

Example#

Review the element (material) coordinate system of four selected elements and display them as blue vectors (color=7) with size = 3.0#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.reviewsystem(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [304, 305, 316, 1841]),
    onlyorient=1,
    normal_size=3.0,
    color=7,
)

Note

The use of Model.vectorsoff() function is required.
