Model.shapevarcreate_xproduct

Model.shapevarcreate_xproduct(basenode, shape_variable_a, shape_variable_b, magnitude)

Creates a shape variable (vector) by using the cross product of two other shape variables.

Parameters:

• basenode (Entity) – The object describing the entity node where the base of the result is located after it is created.

• shape_variable_a (Entity) – The object describing the first entity variable in the cross product.

• shape_variable_b (Entity) – The object describing the second entity variable in the cross product.

• magnitude (double) – Magnitude of resulting vector.

Example

Create a shape variable of magnitude 3.0 at node with ID 106 using the cross-product of vectors with IDs 1, 2

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

basenode_entity = ent.Node(model, 106)
vector_a = ent.Vector(model, 1)
vector_b = ent.Vector(model, 2)

model.shapevarcreate_xproduct(
    basenode=basenode_entity,
    shape_variable_a=vector_a,
    shape_variable_b=vector_b,
    magnitude=3.0,
)
