*CE_ConnectorSetVectorById

Syntax

*CE_ConnectorSetVectorById ce_id type i j k vector node1 node2

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Sets the projection vector for a connector specified by ID.

Inputs

ce_id

The connector entity ID.

type

The method used to set the vector:

• 0 - Use i, j, and k values (see arguments below). These should be specified as the next 3 arguments to this command.
• 1- Requires a HyperMesh vector id (see vector below) from which the vector i, j, and k will be taken internally. The i, j, and k syntax arguments can be set as 0.
• 2 - Requires the two node id’s (node1 and node2 below) as the last two arguments to this command. These node ID’s will be required to create a vector, and assigned to the ce_id. The rest of the above arguments can be set as 0. These two nodes should not be coincident.

i

1st of 3 float numbers defining a vector. Only applies when type is set to 0.

j

2nd of 3 float numbers defining a vector. Only applies when type is set to 0.

k

3rd of 3 float numbers defining a vector. Only applies when type is set to 0.

vector

HyperMesh Vector entity ID. Only applies when type is set to 1.

node1

1st node ID to define a vector in HyperMesh. Only applies when type is set to 2.

node2

2nd node ID to define a vector in HyperMesh. Only applies when type is set to 2.

Examples

*CE_ConnectorSetVectorById(1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0)

The connector’s projection vector will be used during the realization process.
