*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_add_entities

Adds entities to the voxel domain.

Syntax

*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_add_entities entity_type mark_id mode

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Adds entities to the voxel domain. Voxel gridding is done along the intersection profile of the entities.

This must be preceded by a call to *voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_init and must be followed by a call to *voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_create.

Inputs

entity_type
The type of entity to add to the domain. Valid values are comps, elems, surfs, solids and lines.
mark_id
The ID of the mark of entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
mode
1 - Voxelize only the input entity profile.
2 - Voxelize only voids/volumes of the input entity profile.
3 - Voxelize both the input entity and voids/volumes.

Example

To create voxels of size 10 for include components 100-110 and exclude components 200-203:

*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_init 10
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_fill_voids 0
*createmark comps 1 100-110
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_add_entities comps 1 1
*createmark comps 2 200-203
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_remove_entities comps 2 1
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_create
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh end

Errors

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