Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command repositions the model to avoid an undercut for the die module.

Inputs

entity_type: Must be set to elems. This is currently ignored.
mark_id: The mark ID containing the elements. Valid values are 1 and 2.; The entities on the mark are currently ignored.
vector_id: The temporary vector ID created using the *createvector command that defines the normal direction. Must be set to 1.; The vector is currently ignored.
symmetry_flag: 0 - No symmetry plane defined.; 1 - Symmetry plane defined by plane_id.
plane_id: The temporary plane ID created using the *createplane command that defines the symmetry plane. Must be set to 1.; Use only when symmetry_flag is 1.
reduce_depth: 0 - Do not reduce the draw depth.; 1 - Reduce the draw depth.
reduce_undercut: 0 - Do not reduce the undercut.; 1 - Reduce the undercut.
alignment_flag: 0 - Do not optimize the blank area.; 1 - Optimize the blank area.
reposition_stamping: -1 - Do not tip the part in the stamping direction.; 1 - Tip the part in the stamping direction.
reposition_CAD: -1 - Do not tip the part in the CAD system.; 0 - Tip the part in the CAD system.

Example

To reposition the model:

*createmark elems 1
*createvector 1 0.0 0.0 1.0
*createplane 1 -0.586757294 -0.809460681 -0.022119755 -130.806 8.053 26.519
*hf_DiePartPositioning elems 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 -1

Errors

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

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