Cut hexahedra

Cut hexahedra from the model of blocks:

elts = doc.cut(an_edge, nb_of_cuts)

This method enables to cut in two (or more) a series of hexahedra using a series of edges propagation. This method is very useful to connect two connexe components of hexahedra: it enables to cut a base and to make possible the use of a “merge” to accomplish this connexion.

Example

import hexablock
doc = hexablock.addDocument()

size_x = 2
size_y = 1
size_z = 1

orig = doc.addVertex(0, 0, 0)
dirVr = doc.addVector(1, 1, 1)

grid = doc.makeCartesian1(orig, dirVr, size_x, size_y, size_z, 0, 0, 0)
arete = grid.getEdgeK(0, 0, 0)

doc.cut(arete, 1)

no cut
