HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

This command sets or reviews the thickness assigned to a midsurface.

mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the surfaces to set or review. Valid values are 1 and 2.
thickness: The thickness to assign to the surfaces on the mark. A negative or zero value sets the thickness to 0. This is ignored, if update is set to 0.
update: 0 - Display the thickness of the selected surfaces in the graphics area.; 1 - Update the thickness of the selected surfaces.

To display the thicknesses of surfaces 1, 5, 6, 7, and 10:

*createmark surfaces 1 5 6 7 10
  *display_thickness 1 0 0

To assign surfaces 1, 5, 6, 7, and 10 a thickness of 5:

*createmark surfaces 1 5 6 7 10
  *display_thickness 1 5 1

To remove the thickness attribute from surfaces 1, 5, 6, 7, and 10 (e.g. set thickness to zero):

*createmark surfaces 1 5 6 7 10
  *display_thickness 1 -1 1

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

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