Model.surfacesplinefrommesh

Model.surfacesplinefrommesh(shellelemcollection, edgeelemcollection, tol)

Creates geometry on selected 2D mesh elements. Uses selected plot elements to create edges between surfaces.

Parameters:

• shellelemcollection (Collection) – The collection containing the 2D element entities that are used to create surfaces.

• edgeelemcollection (Collection) – The collection containing the 1D element entities that are used to create boundaries between created surfaces.

• tol (double) – Maximal deviation of mesh points from created surfaces at boundaries. If the value is set to 0 or is negative, deviation is calculated internally based on the average size of mesh elements.

Example

Create geometry that fits the 2D elements with IDs 1,2,3,4 and use the 1D elements with IDs 5,6,7 to create boundaries between surfaces . Use automatically calculated tolerance for created boundaries

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.surfacesplinefrommesh(
    shellelemcollection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [1, 2, 3, 4]),
    edgeelemcollection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Element, [5, 6, 7]),
    tol=0.0,
