hm_compareentitiesrecursive

Generates recursive comparison results for entities positioned at any location.

Syntax

hm_compareentitiesrecursive source_entity_type source_mark_id target_entity_type target_mark_id tolerance ?result_type? ?review_results?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Generates recursive comparison results for entities positioned at any location. Multiple matches can be found for each source entity (a source entity may match more than one target entity positioned at a different location). This must be preceded by a call to hm_compareinit.

These results can then be queried using hm_compareget* APIs, or written to a file using hm_comparewrite* APIs.

Inputs

source_entity_type
The type of source entity. Valid values are surfs only.
source_mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the source entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
target_entity_type
The type of target entity. Valid values are surfs only.
target_mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the target entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
tolerance
The tolerance value to use for the comparison.
result_type

0 - Do not automatically show the graphical comparison results after execution.
1 - Automatically show the graphical comparison results after execution (default). This is cleared upon a call to hm_compareend.

Example

To write the detailed comparison results file to C:/temp/my_compare.txt for the recursive comparison of surfs 1-20 and 101-120:
*createmark surfs 1 1-20
*createmark surfs 2 101-120
hm_compareinit
hm_compareentitiesrecursive surfs 1 surfs 2 0.1 2 0
hm_comparewriteresults C:/temp/my_compare.txt
hm_compareend

Errors

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