Description

Fills gaps in FE from lines selected on both sides of the gap.

Inputs

mark_id1

The mark ID containing the lines at the first boundary. Valid values are 1 and 2.

mark_id2

The mark ID containing the lines at the second boundary. Valid values are 1 and 2.

max_width

Maximum allowed gap width to be filled.

string_array

The string array ID that contains the additional input parameters. The string array is created using the *createstringarray command. This should always be set to 1.

Strings are indicated using the format "name: value". Valid strings are:

AdjacentComp: 0 - Fill elements should be created in a new component.; 1 - Fill elements should be created in the adjacent component.
ByFeature: 0 - Features should not be considered.; 1 - Features should be considered.
CurvedFill: 0 - Gaps are filled without taking into consideration the shape of adjacent elements.; 1 - Gaps are filled taking into consideration the shape of adjacent elements, ensuring a smooth fi.
DefineMaxWidth: 0 - Ignore max_width for gap filling.; 1 - Consider max_width for gap filling.
Remesh: 0 - Fill elements should not be remeshed.; 1 - Fill elements should be remeshed.

number_of_strings

Integer indicating the size (number of strings) in the string array created using *createstringarray.

Examples

To fill gaps less than 100 between lists 1 and 2, including remeshing:

*createmark lines 1 1 2 3 4 5
*createmark lines 2 6 7 8 9 10
*createstringarray 2 "Remesh: 1" "DefineMaxWidth: 1"
*fill_fe_gaps_lines 1 2 100.0 1 2

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
