*modent_instancesbreak

Breaks the instancing of subsystem entities, making them independent.

Syntax

*modent_instancesbreak entity_type mark_id breakInGroups=<value>

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command breaks the instancing relationship between subsystems, converting instanced subsystems back into independent subsystems. Breaking the instances makes them independent so they can be modified separately.

Inputs

entity_type
The type of set entity to break instances from. Currently supported for subsystems.
mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the instanced subsystems to break.
breakInGroups=<value>
Controls whether to break instances in groups or individually. Default is true.

Examples

To break instancing for subsystems with ID 10, 11, 12 in groups:
*createmark subsystems 1 10 11 12
*modent_instancesbreak subsystems 1 breakInGroups=true

Errors

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