*mechapplybodymovements
Moves the bodies of a mechanism to the specified matrix orientation.
Syntax
*mechapplybodymovements bodies_array number_of_bodies matrices_array number_of_matrices number_of_matrix_elements
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Moves the bodies of a mechanism to the specified matrix orientation.
The mechanism must have the enabled flag set to true for this to be possible.
This is used internally for solver operations and is not recommended for end-users.
Inputs
- bodies_array
- The ID of the string array that contains the names of the bodies to update. The array is created using the *createstringarray command. This should always be set to 1.
- number_of_bodies
- Integer indicating the size (number of bodies) in the array created using *createstringarray. This must be the same as number_of_matrices.
- matrices_array
- The ID of the double 2D array that contains the 4x3 matrices. The array is created using the *createdoublearray2d command. This should always be set to 1.
- number_of_matrices
- Integer indicating the rows (number of matrices) in the array created using *createdoublearray2d. This must be the same as number_of_bodies.
- number_of_matrix_elements
- Integer indicating the columns (number of elements per matrix) in the array created using *createdoublearray2d. This must be set to 12.
Examples
To apply position with ID 3 on mechanism with ID 1:
*mechconstructfromedi 2 3
*mechapplybodymovements 1 0
To move 7 bodies with a matrix orientation:
*createstringarray 7 "Fix_Rail" "Move_Rail" "Roller" "Front_Lever" "Rear_Lever" "Seat_Cushion" "Back_Seat"
*createdoublearray2d 7 12 \

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