*hmmeshsurfacesphere

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode 3 and one of the *surfacesphere... commands.

Syntax

*hmmeshsurfacesphere quads

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode 3 and one of the *surfacesphere... commands.

Inputs

quads: If nonzero, specifies that the created elements should be quads.

Example

This example identifies a spherical region passing through the given four nodes, and, without actually building a surface, creates 150 elements with a density of 15 along a longitude and 10 around the equator:
