Generate STL facets from a node cloud.

Syntax

*nodecloud2facet entity_type mark_id reserved "scanradius < radius>;fillholesize <size>"

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Generate STL facets from a node cloud.

entity_type: The type of input entity. Must be set to nodes.
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the input entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
reserved: Reserved for future use. Must be set to 5.
"scanradius <radius>;fillholesize <size>": A string containing extra parameters.; scanradius defines the average distance between input nodes.; fillholesize defines the maximum hole width to close/fill any remaining holes after constructing facets.

To construct facets from all nodes with scan radius of 4 and post fill hole size of 10:

*createmark nodes 1 all
*nodecloud2facet nodes 1 5 "scanradius 4;fillholesize 10"

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

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