Splits an edge between two elements.

Syntax

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command splits an edge between two elements.

This command only functions between an *elementqualitysetup command and an *elementqualityshutdown command.

Current element quality criteria for optimization must be set before using this command. The command may be applied at any time without resetting the current quality criteria.

Inputs

elem_id=<value>: The ID of the element.
edge_index=<value>: The index of the edge to split.
optimize=<value>: Option to optimize the node after the split operation is performed (default 0).

Example

To split element ID 20 and edge 2 with optimization:

*elementqualitysetup_new 2
*elementqualitysplitedge elem_id=20 edge_index=2 optimize=1
*elementqualityshutdown 0

Errors

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

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