Model.hm_getsolidboundsforsurfaces

Model.hm_getsolidboundsforsurfaces(surfaces, exclude_solids=1, find_baffles=0)

Returns a list of bounding surfaces. It can be one list for each set of bounding surfaces found, or nothing if there is not a valid closed bounds found.

Parameters:

• surfaces (Collection) – The collection containing the input surface entities.

• exclude_solids (int) – A flag that indicates whether to consider surfaces that already bound solids. Default is exclude_solids=1 if not specified, meaning that algorithm not considers surfaces that already bound solids.

• find_baffles (int) – A flag that indicates whether to consider baffle/fin surfaces. Default is find_baffles=0 if not specified, meaning that algorithm is not considering baffle surfaces.

Returns:

• hwReturnStatus - Status object

• HmQueryResultList - Result list object containing HmQueryResult objects with the following output data:

  • boundingSurfaces (EntityList) - Entity Type: Surface

Example

Find the solid bounds for surface with ID 100

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

surface_collection = hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [100])

_, resultlist = model.hm_getsolidboundsforsurfaces(surfaces=surface_collection)

for result in resultlist:
    print("Bound Surfaces:", [s.id for s in result.boundingSurfaces])
