Model.rigid

Model.rigid(node1, node2, dofs)

Creates a rigid element between two nodes.

Parameters:

• node1 (Entity) – The object describing the independent node of the element.

• node2 (Entity) – The object describing the dependent node of the element.

• dofs (hwBoolList) – The degrees of freedom for which the element is active (list of six Boolean values representing the 1-6 DoFs).

Example

Create a rigid element between node ID 100 and 101 in all six degrees of freedom

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.rigid(
    node1=ent.Node(model,100),
    node1=ent.Node(model,101),
    dofs=[True,True,True,True,True,True,]
)
