Model.rigidwall_geometry

Model.rigidwall_geometry(name, geometrytype, basenode, vectors, n1, n2, geomvar1, geomvar2, geomvar3)

Adds geometric definition to a rigid wall.

Parameters:

• name (hwString) – The name of the rigid wall.

• geometrytype (unsigned char) –

  Use:

  1 - infinite plane

  2 - finite plane

  3 - infinite prism

  4 - finite prism

  5 - cylinder

  6 - sphere

• basenode (Entity) – The object describing the base node for the rigid wall.

• vectors (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the normal vector.

• n1 (Entity) – The object describing the first node entity to be part of the rigid wall.

• n2 (Entity) – The object describing the second node entity to be part of the rigid wall.

• geomvar1 (double) – The length in the x direction or radius.

• geomvar2 (double) – The length in the y direction.

• geomvar3 (double) – The length in the z direction.

Example

Set the rigid wall “ My_rigid_wall “ as a finite plane with normal vector along the x axis and lenght to the y and z direction equal to 10.0 . The base node of the plane is the node with ID 1 and the nodes with IDs 2 , 3 are part of the rigid wall
