*hf_setdiesymmetry

Sets the symmetry plane for the die module.

Syntax

*hf_setdiesymmetry normal_x normal_y normal_z origin_x origin_y origin_z shape_flag node_1 node_2

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

This command sets the symmetry plane for the die module.

normal_x: x-coordinate of the plane normal.
normal_y: y-coordinate of the plane normal.
normal_z: z-coordinate of the plane normal.
origin_x: x-coordinate of the plane origin.
origin_y: y-coordinate of the plane origin.
origin_z: z-coordinate of the plane origin.
shape_flag: A flag that identifies the following cases:; 0 - Half model; 1 - Full model that does not contain a symmetry plane; 2 - Full model that contains a symmetry plane; 3 - Symmetric model for double attached part feature
node_1: First node ID that identifies the portion of the part that is used by the double attached part feature.
node_2: Second node ID that identifies the portion of the part that is used by the double attached part feature.

To set the symmetry plane z=0 for the die module:

*hf_setdiesymmetry 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 0. 0 0 0

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

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