model.model_inquiry.distance_2points(preprocessor, tagPt1, tagPt2)

return the distance between two 3D points

Parameters

• preprocessor – preprocessor

• tagPt1 – tag that identifies the first point

• tagPt2 – tag that identifies the second point

model.model_inquiry.getIdsLineasSet(preprocessor, setName)

model.model_inquiry.getNodesInCoordinateRegion(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax, xcSet)

return a list with the the nodes in a cubic region defined by 2 points with coordinates (xmin,ymin,zmin) and (xmax,ymax,zmax)

Parameters

• xmin,ymin,zmin,xmax,ymax,zmax – coordinates delimiting the region

• xcSet – xc set of nodes to which restrict the search

model.model_inquiry.get_attached_PhModElems(elemTag, setElPhMod)

This function returns an ordered (by number of section) list with the elements of the phantom model (or a set of its elements) that are associated with the element of the actual model whose tag is passed as a parameter

Parameters

• elemTag – tag of the element for which the function returns the Phantom Model elements associated

• selElPhMod – set of elements of the phantom model to which limit the search

model.model_inquiry.get_node_rotational_dofs(node)

Return the indexes of the rotational DOFs of the given node (if any).

Parameters

node – node whose rotational DOFs will be returned.

model.model_inquiry.get_values_at_nodes(element, components=['N', 'M', 'V'], silent=False)

Return the values of the given components at the element nodes.

Parameters

• element – element which the components at its nodes will be retrieved.

• component – components to retrieve.

• silent – if true don’t complain about non-existent components.
