hm_getclosedshelllayerelems
Separates thin closed-shell meshes into top and bottom layers.
Syntax
hm_getclosedshelllayerelems entity_type mark_id
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
This command separates top and bottom layer elements of thin closed-shell solids and puts elements of respective layers on element marks 1 and 2. The command expects each solid to be contained in a single component, i.e., any input solid should not be spread across multiple components. This command is slightly tolerant towards imperfectly closed shells and therefore the input need not be completely watertight.
Inputs
- entity_type
- Must be set to comps.
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
Example
To get the top and bottom layers for comps 54 and 55:
*createmark comps 1 "by id" 54 55
hm_getclosedshelllayerelems comps 1Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect
errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
