Description

The FHEquiv tool short-circuits two FHNode objects.

FastHenry FHEquiv

How to use

The FHEquiv object is based on the two existing FHNodes that it will short-circuit.

1. Select two FHNode objects
2. Press the EM FHEquiv button, or press E then E keys.

Remarks:

• If you need to short-circuit multiple nodes, just create multiple FHEquiv nodes. You don't need a full mesh of FHEquiv nodes, as of course if node1 is shorted with node2, and node2 is shorted with node3, also node1 will result shorted with node3.

Properties

• DataNode1: the first FHNode to short-circuit
• DataNode2: the secondFHNode to short-circuit

Scripting

See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The FHEquivobject can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:

equiv = makeFHEquiv(node1=None,node2=None,name='FHEquiv')

• Creates a FHSegment object.
• baseobj is the Draft Line object that can be used as base for the FHSegment. If nodeStart and nodeEnd are specified, they have priority over the baseobj, and baseobj is ignored.
• nodeStart is the segment starting node FHNode object.
• nodeEnd is the segment ending node FHNode object.
• width is the segment width. Defaults to EMFHSEGMENT_DEF_SEGWIDTH.
• height is the segment height. Defaults to EMFHSEGMENT_DEF_SEGHEIGHT.
• name is the name of the object

Example:

import FreeCAD, EM

fhnode1 = EM.makeFHNode(X=1.0,Y=0,Z=0)
fhnode2 = EM.makeFHNode(X=0,Y=1.0,Z=0)

fhsegment = EM.makeFHSegment(nodeStart=fhnode1, nodeEnd=fhnode2)
