Make elements by transforming elements¶

Rotate and translate for any kind of elements:

elts = doc.makeTranslation(element, vec)
elts = doc.makeRotation(element, ver, vec, angle)

and “element” could be Vertex, Edge, Quad, Hexa, Vector, Cylinder, Pipe and Elements and the result “elts” is always an object of type “Elements”.

Example¶

import hexablock
doc = hexablock.addDocument()

size_x = 1
size_y = 1
size_z = 2

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)
orig.setScalar(2)

devant = doc.addVector(5, 0, 0)
grid2 = doc.makeTranslation(grid, devant)

grid4 = doc.makeRotation(grid2, orig, dirVr, 45)
