Description
Imports collision (intersections and penetrations) results from solver output message files and populates them into the Penetrations Browser.
Inputs
- solveroutputpath=<value>
- The absolute path of the directory holding the solver output message files. Based on the current user profile, an appropriate output message file will be imported.
- entitytype=<value>
- The type of entity. The only valid value is groups.
- entityids=<value>
- The optional list of group IDs. If specified, collision results will be imported only for specified groups. If not specified, collision results are reported for all groups in the output message file.
- collisiontype=<value>
- 0 - Import both Intersections and Penetrations. (default)
- minpendepth=<value>
- Specifies the minimum depth of penetrations to report. Any penetrations less than the specified value will not be reported. If not specified, all penetrations in the output message file are reported.
- createsets=<value>
- 0 - No new set entities are created. (default)
Examples
To import the output message file from D:/RunFolder and populate the penetrations into the
Penetration Browser for groups ID 1001 and 1003, for penetrations greater than 0.001 and to
create new set entities for penetration nodes and
elements:
collisionimportresults entitytype=groups entityids="1001 1003" collisiontype=0 solveroutputpath="D:/RunFolder" minpendepth=0.001 createsets=1Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect
errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
