*equivalence2
Equivalences duplicate nodes on the "exposed" faces of 2D/3D elements in selected components to all other nodes in the model within a tolerance.
Syntax
*equivalence2 mark_id tolerance location numbering
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Equivalences duplicate nodes on the "exposed" faces of 2D/3D elements in selected components to all other nodes in the model within a tolerance.
Inputs
- mark_id
- The mark ID containing the input components. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- tolerance
- The tolerance used to find neighboring nodes, not in the specified components, to equivalence with.
- location
- Location of equivalenced nodes:
- 0 - Equivalence at the location of the node in the component.
- 1 - Equivalence at the location of the node not in the component.
- 2 - Equivalence at the midpoint of the two nodes.
- numbering
- The numbering of the retained node:
- 0 - Retain the number of the node in the component.
- 1 - Retain the number of the node not in the component.
Example
To equivalence the nodes on the exposed faces of components 1-5, using a tolerance of 0.1
and keeping the location and number of the component
nodes:
*createmark comps 1 1-5
*equivalence2 1 0.1 0 0Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect
errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
}
