Update the position by multiplying input M44 matrix.

Example

from hwx import inspire

model = inspire.newModel()
sheet = model.createSheetRectangle()
planarFeature = sheet.features[8]
enforcedDisp = inspire.EnforcedDisplacement(
  planarFeature, location=[1.0, 1.0, 1.0], magnitude=0.001, loadCase='current'
)
# show some properties
print("Some Displacement Contraint properties:")
print("Location: " + str(enforcedDisp.location))
print("Direction: " + str(enforcedDisp.direction))
print(type(planarFeature).__name__ + " belongs to: " + str(planarFeature.part))

# modify some properties
enforcedDisp.location = planarFeature.location
enforcedDisp.direction = [0.0, 0.0, -1.0]

inspire.orientView(direction="front")
inspire.fitView()

# show modified properties
print("")
print("Displacement Contraint properties after modification:")
print("Location: " + str(enforcedDisp.location))
print("Direction: " + str(enforcedDisp.direction))
property magnitude#
