Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Checks whether the given surface can be mapped or not and returns the map shape and vertices of the shape.

The output consists of an integer defining the map shape, and a list of vertices for map shapes other than circular.

0 - If the shape is not mappable

1 - If the map shape is triangular

2 - If the map shape is rectangular

3 - If the map shape is pentagonal

4 - If the map shape is circular

Inputs

surface_id
The ID of the surface to query.
element_size
The element size of interest for the surface.

Examples

To check if surface 1 is mappable with size 2.5:

hm_issurfacemappable 1 2.5
2 {10 13 12 11}

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