*morphconstraintcreatesmooth

Creates a smooth type morphconstraint for the selected nodes.

Syntax

*morphconstraintcreatesmooth nlist type closed name color

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command creates a smooth type morphconstraint for the selected nodes. During morphing, the perturbations of the nodes or dependent handles will be modified using a spline based approximation so that edge domains running along the selected entities will have smooth contours.

Inputs

nlist: The ID of the list containing the nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.
type: 0 - Apply to nodes. All handles on the node list serve as anchors for the spline curve and nodes are adjusted to the curve based on influences; 1 - Apply to dependent handles. Only the independent handles on the node list serve as anchors and the dependent handles are adjusted to the curve based on influences
closed: 0 - Open ended; 1 - Loop. The first node on the list will be added to the end to form a loop.
name: The name of the morph constraint.
color: The color of the constraint. Valid values are 1 through 64.

Example

To create a smooth morphconstraint for nodes 1-5 with a closed loop:

*createlist nodes 1 1 2 3 4 5
*morphconstraintcreatesmooth 1 0 1 "smooth" 32

Errors

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

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