hm_getnodegeometry
Get the simplest geometry entity associated with the node.
Syntax
hm_getnodegeometry node_id geom_type
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Get the simplest geometry entity associated with the node. This command returns two types of geometry entities, initial or current. Initial means the geometry to which a node is associated during mesh generation, or the association was imposed using the *nodesassociatetogeometry command. Current means the geometry on which a node is currently placed.
Inputs
- node_id
- The ID of the node.
- geom_type (optional)
- An option to return associated geometry type.
List containing two values. The first value is a type of geometry. It can have a value of none, point, line, or surface. The second value is an ID of the entity.
Example
hm_getnodegeometry 1returns:
none 0If the node is associated with more than one geometric entity, only the simplest one is returned by this command. For example, using this command for a node located on the edge of a surface would return "line" and the line’s ID, because the line is simpler (fewer dimensions) than the surface. (A corner node would return a point because the corner is a vertex.)
Errors
None.
