Model.springsupdate#

Model.springsupdate(collection, dofflag, dof, propertyflag, property, vectorflag, vectorentity)#

Updates the properties of spring elements.

Parameters:

  • collection (Collection) – The collection containing the spring elements entities to update.

  • dofflag (int) – Set to 1 if the dofs should be updated, otherwise 0.

  • dof (hwBoolList) – The degree of freedom which the spring elements should be updated to.

  • propertyflag (int) – Set to 1 if the property should be updated, otherwise 0.

  • property (hwString) – The property to which the element should point.

  • vectorflag (int) – Set to 1 if the vector should be updated, otherwise 0.

  • vectorentity (Entity) – The object describing the orientation vector entity associated with the spring element.

Example#

Update spring element with IDs 16 , 17 , and 18 to have a degree of freedom of 3 and a property reference to “sprate”, without an orientation vector#
import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.springsupdate(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [16, 17, 18]),
    dofflag=1,
    dof=[False, False, True, False, False, False],
    propertyflag=1,
    property="sprate",
    vectorflag=0,
    vectorentity=None,
)
