Model.surfacetorusfull

Model.surfacetorusfull(center, normal_vector, minor_radius, major_radius)

Creates a torus with specified radii, and optionally, prepares it for immediate use in the automesher. It also can identify a toroidal region for the automesher to use with the mesh without surface option.

Parameters:

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

• normal_vector (Entity) – The node entity specifying the normal axis of the torus.

• minor_radius (double) – The minor radius of the torus.

• major_radius (double) – The major radius of the torus.

Example

Create a torus with center at node with ID 1 , normal at node with ID 2 , a minor radius of 5.0 , and a major radius of 10.0 , but not create any elements

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.surfacetorusfull(
    center=ent.Node(model, 1),
    normal_vector=ent.Node(model, 2),
    minor_radius=5.0,
    major_radius=10.0,
)

Note

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