hm_visualizeloads

Plots engineering loads referenced by a load collector.

Syntax

hm_visualizeloads entity_type mark_id config plottype=<value> ?option=<value>?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Plots engineering loads referenced by a load collector honoring the scale factor defined in the collector.

Inputs

entity_type
The type of entity referencing the loads. Currently only load collectors are supported.
mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the specified entity type. Valid values are 1 and 2.
config
The config of the load to be reviewed.
plottype=<value>
The requested plot type. A validation is performed for the referred loads to ensure they are valid for the specified plot type.
0 – Clear all graphics
1 – Vector plot
2 – Interactive scalar plot
3 – Static scalar plot
showlabel=<value>
The labels for the vector plot. The display of labels is also dependent on the global load handle flag.
0 - Off
1 - On
locationentitytype=<value>
The entity type where the load is applied. If specified, only the loads which are applied on the specified entity type will be reviewed. Valid values are nodes and elements.

Examples

To create a vector plot of force loads with labels:
*createmark loadcols 1 all
hm_visualizeloads loadcols 1 1 plottype=1 showlabel=1
To create a scalar plot of temperature loads referenced by load collectors 1-10 applied on nodes:
*createmark loadcols 1 1-10
hm_visualizeloads loadcols 1 5 plottype=2 locationentitytype=nodes
To clear all graphics:
hm_visualizeloads plottype=0

Errors

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