*featurelinesdetection

Performs feature line detection using the curvature-based method.

Syntax

*featurelinesdetection entity_type mark_id edge_feature_angle min_curvature max_curvature

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Performs feature line detection using the curvature-based method. This method analyzes surface curvature and edge angles to generate topology lines from a mesh.

Inputs

entity_type
The input entity type. Valid values are elements and components.
mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the input entities.
edge_feature_angle
The edge feature angle. Valid value range is 1-180. If set to 180, angle-based feature detection is disabled.
min_curvature
The minimum curvature filter.
max_curvature
The maximum curvature filter.

Examples

To generate features on displayed elements using edge feature angle of 30.0 degrees:
*createmark elems 1 displayed
*featurelinesdetection elems 1 30.0 0 0

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
