make_half_model Module

This file defines:

• model = make_half_model(

  bdf_filename, plane=’xz’, zero_tol=1e-12, log=None, debug=True)

pyNastran.bdf.mesh_utils.make_half_model.make_half_model(bdf_filename, plane: str = 'xz', zero_tol: float = 1e-12, log=None, debug: bool = True)

Makes a half/symmetric model from a full model

Parameters

bdf_filenamestr / BDF()

str : the bdf filename BDF : the BDF model object

planestr; {‘xy’, ‘yz’, ‘xz’}; default=’xz’

the plane to mirror about xz : +y/-y yz : +x/-x xy : +z/-z

zaero_tolfloat; default=1e-12

the symmetry plane tolerance

Returns

modelBDF()

BDF : the BDF model object
