*realizehmentity

Realizes HyperMesh entities.

Syntax

*realizeentity entity_type mark_id ?targetentitytype=<value>?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Realizes HyperMesh entities. Constraints are realized to elements or groups based on targetentitytype. Solvermasses are realized to nonstructural mass properties in Abaqus.

Inputs

entity_type: The type of entity to realize. Currently supported entity types are constraints and solvermasses.
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the entities to realize. Valid values are 1 and 2.
targetentitytype=<value>: The type of the target entity. Valid values are elements and groups. Currently only supported for constraints.

Examples

To realize all constraints to elements:

*createmark constraints 1 all
*realizehmentity constraints 1 targetentitytype=elems

To realize all solvermass entities:

*realizehmentity solvermasses

To realize solvermass entities on mark:

*createmark solvermasses 1 "by id only" 1 2
*realizehmentity solvermasses 1

Errors

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

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