*calculateElemDrapingAngles

Calculates the draping angles of elements associated with ply.

Syntax

*calculateElemDrapingAngles mark_id result_file table_name fiber_vector stamping_vector ply_id

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

This command updates connectors with entities.

mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the ply elements. Valid values are 1 and 2.
result_file: Reserved for future use. Must be set to "".
table_name: The name of the table entity to use for storing the results.
fiber_vector_id: The ID of the vector defining the fiber direction, defined using the *createvector command.
stamping_vector_id: The ID of the vector defining the stamping direction, defined using the *createvector command.
ply_id: The ID of the ply.

To calculate the draping angle of elements associated with ply 10 having fiber direction (1,0,0) and stamping direction (0,1,0):

*createmark elements 1 "by ply id" 10
*createvector 1 1 0 0
*createvector 2 0 1 0
*calculateElemDrapingAngles 1 "" drapetable 1 2 10

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

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