Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Create apply mass connectors at the specified location with certain rules, and realize them using a specified config type, mass value and distribution type.

Inputs

entitytype

The entity type serving as the location of apply mass connector(s). Valid options are nodes and points.

entitymark

Mark of the location points or nodes.

linkentitytype

Link types:

• Nodes
• Elems
• Comps
• hm_tag

linkentitymark

Mark of the entities of links.

ce_rules

Rule to specify how a link entity is to be added to a connector:

• 0 - None
• 1 - User selected
• 2 - Use name

ce_le_rule

Rule that specifies how an entity is to be remembered by the connector:

• 0 - None
• 1 - User ID
• 2 - Use name

tolerance

Add entities as links only with in the given tolerance from the specified location.

num_ents

The number of links.

• -1 - All entities within tolerance will be added as links.

config

Apply mass type:

• 1100 - Point mass
• 1101 - Rigid mass
• 1102 - Rigidlink mass
• 1103 - rbe3 mass

mass

Value of the applied mass.

distribution_type

Apply mass distribution type:

• 0 - Divide mass by nodes.
• 1 - Apply mass to all nodes.
• 2 - Divide mass by area.
• 3 - Unit area.

param1

For future use (must be 0).

Examples

This example creates 2 apply mass connectors at nodes 1 and 2, using nodes as links, adding nodes as links to the connectors using "proximity" tolerance = 10.0, and setting the remember rule to "none". It also realizes connectors using "point mass" (1100), "mass value" = 100.0, distributing the mass to the link nodes using the "divide mass by nodes" method (1).
