Model.segmentsetaddfaces

Model.segmentsetaddfaces(name, elem_collection, node_collection, break_angle, reverse_normals, face_or_edge)

Adds elements using the face/edge option to a segment set.

Parameters:

• name (hwString) – Name of the segment set to update.

• elem_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the solid element entities to add.

• node_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the node entities that define an edge or a face of an element.

• break_angle (double) – The break angle for finding adjacent elements.

• reverse_normals (int) –

  Create segment set:

  0 - Along element normal

  1 - Opposite element normal

• face_or_edge (int) –

  Create segment set:

  0 - On edge

  1 - On face

  10 - On edge for shells, do not consider break angle

  11 - On face for solids, do not consider break angle

  20 - On edge for shells, consider hidden entities

  21 - On face for solids, consider hidden entities

  30 - On edge for shell, do not consider break angle, consider hidden entities

  31 - On face for solid, do not consider break angle, consider hidden entities

Example

Add elements with IDs 1 - 100 with faces defined by nodes with IDs 1 - 5 to the segment set * “ test “ * with a break_angle=30.0

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Creating a collection that contains the elements to add
filter_add_elements = hm.FilterByEnumeration(ent.Element, list(range(1, 101)))
add_elements_collection = hm.Collection(model, filter_add_elements)

# Creating a collection that contains the nodes that define the faces
filter_nodes = hm.FilterByEnumeration(ent.Node, list(range(1, 6)))
node_define_collection = hm.Collection(model, filter_nodes)

model.segmentsetaddfaces(
    name="test",
    elem_collection=add_elements_collection,
    node_collection=node_define_collection,
    break_angle=30.0,
    reverse_normals=0,
    face_or_edge=1,
)
