Model.rigidsconnectivityupdate#

Model.rigidsconnectivityupdate(element, update_independent_node, independent_node, update_dependent_node, dependent_collection, dependent_type_change, config_change, attach_set)#

Updates a rigid/rigidlink element with the given independent and/or dependent nodes. When attach_set is set to 1, the attached set is created or updated from a given mark of dependent nodes.

Parameters:

  • element (Entity) – The entity object representing the RBE3 element.

  • update_independent_node (int) – If set to 1, the independent node of the element is updated with the given independent_node entity.

  • independent_node (Entity) – The entity object representing the independent node.

  • update_dependent_node (int) – If set to 1, the dependent node of the element is updated with the given nodes in dependent_collection.

  • dependent_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the dependent nodes or sets of nodes.

  • dependent_type_change (int) – If set to 1, the dependent selection type changed between multiple and single node selection considering the valid node counts.

  • config_change (int) – If set to 1, the config of the element is changed between 5 (rigid) and 55 (rigidlink) considering the valid node counts.

  • attach_set (int) – If set to 1, the attached set is created or updated from a given mark of dependent nodes.

Example#

Update a rigidlink element with ID 1752 with independent node with ID 1743 and dependent nodes with IDs 1792, 1832, 1833 and 1835#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

node_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Node, [1792, 1832, 1833, 1835])
model.rigidsconnectivityupdate(
    element=ent.Element(model, 1752),
    update_independent_node=1,
    independent_node=ent.Node(model, 1743),
    update_dependent_node=1,
    dependent_collection=node_col,
    dependent_type_change=0,
    config_change=0,
    attach_set=0
)
Update a rigidlink element with ID 1752 with dependent set of nodes “set9”#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

set_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Set, "name=set9")

model.rigidsconnectivityupdate(
    element=ent.Element(model, 1752),
    update_independent_node=0,
    independent_node=None,
    update_dependent_node=1,
    dependent_collection=set_col,
    dependent_type_change=0,
    config_change=0,
    attach_set=0
)
Change a rigidlink element with ID 1752 to a rigid with dependent node ID 1576#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

node_col = hm.Collection(model, ent.Node, [1576])

model.rigidsconnectivityupdate(
    element=ent.Element(model, 1752),
    update_independent_node=0,
    independent_node=None,
    update_dependent_node=1,
    dependent_collection=node_col,
    dependent_type_change=1,
    config_change=1,
    attach_set=0
)
