Access to UNV facets

Asked by Przemek

Hi,

I have a question about the ymport module. I my script I loaded UNV geometry with returnConnectivityTable True value. And now, how I can access to the data of facets?
I wish to use some properties of those facets like, area and coordinates of each area center. Is it possible?

Hi Przemek,

> Is it possible?

of course :-)

###
from yade import ymport
facets,nodes,connectivity = ymport.unv(...,returnConnectivityTable=True)
# now facets is list of created facets
for f in facets:
   print(f.shape.area)
   print(f.state.pos) # center of inscribed circle, not center of mass (!)
   # whatever else
###

cheers

Thanks Jan, and I have one more question to this topic.

In my script, I used command

rod = O.bodies.append(ymport.unv('Geometry/tool.unv',scale=1e-3,returnConnectivityTable=False,wire=False,color=toolColor))

to move this geometry. So the facets coordinates changes in every iteration. Can I connect this two imports to read current position of each facet?

Sorry, I did not get your question at all :-)

this command dos not imply any move nor coordinate changes..

> Can I connect this two imports to read current position of each facet?

what does "connect" mean here? and "read" and "current position"?

Sorry, my last comment was not described precisely. My fault.

I'm using this geometry (rod) in O.engines section, that's why I didn't attach it earlier.
It rotates and translates. And I want to apply a function which depends on area and position of each facet in current iteration (area is constant, but position changes due to the combined motion).
So, I want to have an access to to this data.

I hope that this description is more understandable :)

not really :-D

> So, I want to have an access to to this data.

you have access to facet data the same way as any other shape..
###
for b in O.bodies:
   if not isinstance(b.shape,Facet): continue # skip non-facet bodies
   area = b.shape.area
   position = b.state.pos
   ... # whatever with area and position
###
or
###
def functionWhichDependsOnAreaAndPositionOfEachFacet(facet):
   area = facet.shape.area
   position = facet.state.pos
   ... # whatever with area and position

for b in O.bodies:
   if not isinstance(b.shape,Facet): continue # skip non-facet bodies
   functionWhichDependsOnAreaAndPositionOfEachFacet(b)

Another point, if the next question is not related with UNV (the original topic), please open a new question [1]

cheers
