Model.weld

Model.weld(independent, dependent, length, systems, movenode)

Creates a weld element between two nodes.

Parameters:

• independent (Entity) – The independent node.

• dependent (Entity) – The dependent node.

• length (double) – The length of the weld.

• systems (int) –

  Determines if systems should be built at the end of the node:

  0 - No

  1 - Yes

• movenode (int) – Set to 1 to move the node perpendicular to the surface of the elements, otherwise set to 0.

Example

Create a weld element between nodes with IDs 100 and 101 with length 1.0 and without systems be built at the ends of the weld element

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.weld(
    independent=ent.Node(model, 100),
    dependent=ent.Node(model, 101),
    length=1.0,
    systems=0,
    movenode=0,
)
