Model.wadlines_hardpartzone

Model.wadlines_hardpartzone(collection, double_array, vector, search_distance)

Creates the hard part zone by duplicating and trimming the vehicle outer components with test zone boundaries.

Parameters:

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

• double_array (hwDoubleList) – A list of doubles that contains the 3D coordinates of the vertices defining the test zone.

• vector (hwTriple) – The hwTriple object defining the vector components. User can also supply a Python list of three doubles.

• search_distance (double) – The perpendicular distance from the test zone boundary used to select elements from the vehicle outer components.

Example

Create a hard part zone around the displayed components with a tolerance of 10.0 and the perpendicular direction be along z axis

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Creating a collection that contains the displayed components
collection_disp_components = hm.CollectionByDisplayed(model, ent.Component)

# Creating a list that contains the 3D coordinates of the vertices defining the test zone
