Associates nodes to points, lines, surfaces or solids.

Syntax

*nodesassociatetogeometry mark_id entity_type entity_id tolerance

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

This command is used to associate nodes to points, lines, surfaces and solids. Association also moves/positions the nodes onto that geometric entity.

mark_id: The mark of nodes to position and associate. Valid values are 1 and 2.
entity_type: The type of entity to use for the association. Valid values are points, lines, surfaces and solids. When surfaces are used, surface edges are also considered for the association
entity_id: The ID of the entity_type entity to associate to.
tolerance: The search tolerance to use for the association. Any nodes on mark_id that are further than tolerance away from the specified entity are not associated.

To associate nodes 1-100 to surface ID 5 using a tolerance of 0.01:

*createmark nodes 1 1-100
*nodesassociatetogeometry 1 surfs 5 0.01

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

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