*hf_FillDoubleAttachedPart

Reflects the current die part, duplicating elements and surfaces, and fills the gap in between, creating the surface and the mesh in the die part component.

Syntax

*hf_FillDoubleAttachedPart creation_flag x_coord y_coord z_coord gap n1 n2

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command reflects the current die part, duplicating elements and surfaces, and fills the gap in between, creating the surface and the mesh in the die part component.

Inputs

creation_flag: 1 - Triangular mesh method.; 2 - Ruled surface method.
x_coord: The reflection direction x-coordinate.
Y_coord: The reflection direction y-coordinate.
Z_coord: The reflection direction z-coordinate.
gap: The minimum distance between the original and reflected parts.
n1: The node ID of the first node on the part profile of the area to enclose.
n2: The node ID of the second node on the part profile of the area to enclose.

Example

To create the double attached part using the ruled surface method, a symmetry plane of 1., 0., 0., a gap of 5.7 and nodes 23 and 34 on the part profile:

*hf_FillDoubleAttachedPart 2 1 0 0 5.7 23 34

Errors

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

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