*renumber

Renumbers the internal HyperMesh IDs for the specified entity type.

Syntax

*renumber entity_type mark_id start_id incr_val offset_val offset_flag

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

This command renumbers the internalHyperMesh IDs for entities of entity_type contained on mark_id.

This command only renumbers HyperMesh internal IDs, even if the selected entities have solver IDs (see *renumbersolverid).

entity_type: The type of entity selected for renumbering.
mark_id: The mark that contains the entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
start_id: Integer value > 0 specifying the starting value.
incr_val: Integer value > 0 specifying the renumbering increment.
offset_val: Integer value to use for offsetting. Can be positive or negative as long as after renumbering all entities will have a positive ID.
offset_flag: Flag to specify whether to use offsetting:; 0 Use start_id and incr_val and ignore offset_val.; 1 Use offset_val and ignore start_id and incr_val.

To renumber the internal HyperMesh IDs of the displayed elements starting from 100 with an increment of 1:

*createmark elems 1 displayed
*renumber elems 1 100 1 0 0

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

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