Model.triangle_clean_up

Model.triangle_clean_up(collection, criteria_string, graphicsDB=0)

Fixes sliver/bad quality elements which fail the user-defined aspect ratio.

Parameters:

• collection (Collection) – The collection containing the element entities.

• criteria_string (hwString) –

  There are two possible criteria that can be included in the string:

  • aspect=<value>

  The elements failing this given aspect ratio value will be fixed. The aspect ratio is defined as the minimum height/longest edge.

  • height=<value>

  The elements failing this given element height value will be fixed. The minimum height is defined as shortest distance from a node to opposite edge.

• graphicsDB (int) – Reserved for future development.

Example

Correct all elements fail aspect ratio of 8 or height of 3

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Creating collection containing all the components
input_collection = hm.Collection(model, ent.Component)

model.triangle_clean_up(
    collection=input_collection, criteria_string="aspect=8 height=3"
)
