Model.surfacesplitwithplane

Model.surfacesplitwithplane(surface, plane_normal, plane_base)

Splits a surface with an infinite plane.

Parameters:

• surface (Entity) – The entity surface to be split.

• plane_normal (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the plane normal components to split the surface. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• plane_base (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the base point components of the plane to split the surface. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

Example

Split the surface with ID 1 with the xy plane ( normal equals the z - axis )

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.surfacesplitwithplane(
    surface=ent.Surface(model, 1),
    plane_normal=[0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
    plane_base=[0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
)
