Model.rigidlink

Model.rigidlink(independent, collection, dofs)

Creates a rigid link element between an independent node and multiple dependent nodes.

Parameters:

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

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the dependent nodes.

• dofs (int) – The degrees of freedom code for which all of nodes of the element are active (any of the digits 1-6).

Example

Create a rigid link element between node ID 100 and nodes ID 101 , 102 , and 103 in all six degrees of freedom

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.rigidlink(
    independent=ent.Node(model,100),
    collection=hm.Collection(model,ent.Node,[101,102,103]),
    dofs=123456
)
