Syntax
*EntityMoveUsingArray entity_col IdSizeArray numRows numCols ent_to_move entityIds numEnts
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Organize a different group of elements to their respective collectors.
Inputs
- entity_col
- Entity collector type that holds the entity IDs.
- IdSizeArray
- A 2D array that contains the collector IDs specified by the entity_col variable and a size value that specifies the number of entities that need to be moved from the entityIds array.
- numRows
- The number of rows for the 2D array.
- numCols
- The number of columns for the 2D array. This MUST always have a value of 2.
- ent_to_move
- The entity type to be organized in the collector.
- entityIds
- Array of specific entity type IDs to be organized into specific collectors.
- numEnts
- The size of the entity ID array.
Example
This command currently supports moving elements to components only. This is optimized for organizing a different group of elements to their respective collectors from a Tcl script. For example, elements with IDs 1 to 5 must be moved to component ID 1, elements with IDs 6 to 10 must be moved to comp ID 2 and elements with IDs 11 to 15 must be moved to comp ID 3.
The command below accepts a 3 X 2 matrix with its values specified in a single line. The
number of rows is 3 and number of columns is 2. The rest of the parameter specifies that the
first 5 elements from the entityIds array must be moved to comp ID 1, the next 5 elements
moved to comp ID 2, and the last 5 elements moved to comp ID
3.
*createentityarray2d 3 2 1 5 2 5 3 5;The following command accepts the number of elements to move and the IDs of all the
elements that need to be
moved.
*createarray 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15;Note: The number of elements to move MUST be equal to the sum of the values specified for
the number of elements to move in the 2D array.
