Model.solid_fixedptsmaker

Model.solid_fixedptsmaker(surf_collection, comp_collection, tol_rel)

Used in the solidmap panel to create fixed points on the edges of selected components. These points are generated from nodes on the component’s edges that fall within a specified tolerance, and are meant to be transitory.

Parameters:

• surf_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the surface entities. Fixed points are to be made on the edges of these surfaces.

• comp_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the component entities. Nodes of the elements in the components of the collecion are considered for making fixed points.

• tol_rel (double) – Tolerance relative to the average element size calculated from the elements in the inputted components.

Example

Create fixed points on the edges of the surface with ID 10 considering nodes and elements from the component with ID 3 with a relative tolerance of 5.0

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.solid_fixedptsmaker(
    surf_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [10]),
    comp_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Component, [3]),
    tol_rel=5.0,
)
