Model.systemcreate3nodes

Model.systemcreate3nodes(type, origin, axisname, axispt, planename, planept)

Creates a rectangular coordinate system.

Parameters:

• type (int) –

  The type of system being created.

  0 - rectangular

  1 - cylindrical

  2 - spherical

• origin (Entity) – The object describing the node entity which defines the origin.

• axisname (hwString) – A string which identifies the axis being defined with the axispt (x, y, or z).

• axispt (Entity) – The object describing the node entity which defines a point on the axis defined by axisname.

• planename (hwString) – A string which identifies the plane being defined with the planename (xy, xz, or yz).

• planept (Entity) – The object describing the node entity which defines a point on the plane defined by planename.

Example

Build a cylindrical system with the node with ID 1 define the origin , with the node with ID 2 define the x axis , and the node with ID 3 define the xy - plane

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.systemcreate3nodes(
type=1,
origin=ent.Node(model, 1),
axisname="x",
axispt=ent.Node(model, 2),
planename="xy",
planept=ent.Node(model, 3),
)
