Model.split_elements_by_structure_pattern

Model.split_elements_by_structure_pattern(refine_collection, transition_collection, refine_size, num_layers=0)

Creates a transition mesh between refined and boundary regions.

Parameters:

• refine_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities in the refinement zone.

• transition_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities in the transition zone.

• refine_size (double) – The element size for the refinement zone.

• num_layers (int) – The number of element layers to use for making transitions.

Example

Refine the element with ID 509 to a size of 0.5 , use the elements with IDs 511-518 as the transition zone

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.split_elements_by_structure_pattern(
    refine_collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [509]),
    transition_collection=hm.Collection(
        model, ent.Element, [511, 512, 513, 514, 515, 516, 517, 518]
    ),
    refine_size=0.5,
)
