hm_clustersurfaces
Groups surfaces based on continuity even across t-connected edges.
Syntax
hm_clustersurfaces surface_mark feature_angle
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
This command Forms clusters of surfaces from the given input mark of surfaces, grouping surfaces that are adjacent with angle less than the specified threshold. The surfaces are grouped even across t-connection edges. The command returns a list of lists of surface IDs.
Inputs
- surface_mark
- The ID of the mark containing the surface to cluster. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- feature_angle
- The angle threshold (in degrees) used for grouping two surfaces together. If the angle between two surfaces at common edge is less than this value, they are grouped together.
Examples
To group all the surfaces that are connected at an angle less than 20 degrees at the common
edge:
*createmark surfaces 1 all

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