*solidmap_solids_set_mapface

Sets the surface shared by the 4 input points to the mapped type within a multiple-solid solidmap command block.

Syntax

*solidmap_solids_set_mapface point_id1 point_id2 point_id3 point_id4

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command is used to set the surface shared by the 4 input vertices to the mapped type with the input vertices as the corners. The 4 vertices must be distinct. If more than one surfaces share the 4 vertices, the resulting surface for type setting is random. The command has effect only for surfaces for which the mesh type is free to change (for example, not an along face of a solid). This command can only be called between a *solidmap_solids_begin and *solidmap_solids_end command pair.

Inputs

point_id1: The ID of the first corner vertex.
point_id2: The ID of the second corner vertex.
point_id3: The ID of the third corner vertex.
point_id4: The ID of the fourth corner vertex.

Example

To mesh solids 32 and 41 with a default elem size of 2.0 except on the surface shared by points 10, 11, 12 and 13 which is to be of mapped type by these points:

*createmark solids 1 32 41
*solidmap_solids_begin 1 0 2.0
   *solidmap_solids_set_mapface 10 11 12 13
*solidmap_solids_end

Errors

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

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