*createsketchfrombeamsection

Creates a sketch from shell or solid beamsections.

Syntax

*createsketchfrombeamsection mark=<mark_id> ?assignsketch=<value>? ?computeproperties=<value>? ?offset={<value>}?

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Creates a sketch from shell or solid beamsections.

mark=<mark_id>: The ID of the mark of input beamsections. Valid values are 1 and 2.
assignsketch=<value>: After sketch creation, assign the sketch to the beamsection.; 0 - Do not assign; 1 - Assign (default)
computeproperties=<value>: If assignsketch=1, use the sketch to recompute new beamsection properties.; 0 - Do not compute (default); 1 - Compute
offset={<value>}: Offset in local beamsection system to add to the sketch.

To create a sketch from a beamsection:

*createmark beamsects 1 10
*createsketchfrombeamsection mark=1

To create an offset sketch and recompute properties:

*createmark beamsects 1 all
*createsketchfrombeamsection mark=1 computeproperties=1 offset={1.0 2.0}

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
