Model.surfacespherefull

Model.surfacespherefull(center_node, radius)

Creates a sphere with a specified center and radius, and optionally, prepares it for immediate use within the automesher. It can also identify a region in the shape of such a sphere for the automesher to use under the mesh without surface option.

Parameters:

• center_node (Entity) – A node specifying the center of the sphere.

• radius (double) – The radius of the sphere.

Example

Create a sphere with center at node with IDs 1 and a radius of 45.0 , but not create any elements on the sphere

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.surfacemode(mode=4)

model.surfacespherefull(center_node=ent.Node(model, 1), radius=45.0)

Note

The model.surfacemode(mode=4) directive tells HyperMesh not to pass the information on to the automesher for element creation.
