*sliversfixfe

Fixes sliver edges of FE geometry surfaces.

Syntax

*sliversfixfe edge1=<value> edge2=<value> widthThreshold=<value>

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Fixes sliver edges of FE geometry surfaces. In the first step, the sliver portion of the edges is identified based on the specified widthThreshold value. Then, all elements lying between the sliver portion of the edges are removed. Finally, the sliver portion of the edges is stitched.

Inputs

edge1={id1 id2 … ?idN?}: List of node IDs from the first edge.
edge2={id1 id2 … ?idN?}: List of node IDs from the second edge.
widthThreshold=<value>: Threshold value specifying the stitching portion of the edges.

Example

To stitch an edge with node IDs 7, 2, 6, 4, and 5 with an edge with node IDs 10, 47, and 59 using a threshold of 1E-4:

*sliversfixfe edge1={7 2 6 4 5} edge2={10 47 59} widthThreshold=1e-4

Errors

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

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