Model.rotatedummy

Model.rotatedummy(collectorentity, plane_normal, plane_base, increment)

Rotates the dummy by an arbitrary axis that is specified by a plane.

Parameters:

• collectorentity (Entity) – The object describing the entity to be rotated.

• plane_normal (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the plane normal components. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• plane_base (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the base point components of the plane. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• increment (double) – The number of degrees to rotate the dummy.

Example

Rotate about the x axis by 90.0 degrees , the component with ID 1 that exists within the dummy ( and is included in the parent / child system )

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.rotatedummy(
    collectorentity=ent.Component(model, 1),
    plane_normal=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    plane_base=[0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    increment=90.0,
)
