HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Adds elements using the face/edge option to a segment set.

name: The name of the segment set to update.
elem_mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the elements to add. Valid values are 1 and 2.; The mark must contain solid elements if specifing faces, or shell elements if specifying edges.
node_mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the nodes that define an edge or a face of an element. Valid values are 1 and 2.
break_angle: The break angle for finding adjacent elements.
reverse_normals: Create segment set:; 0 - Along element normal; 1 - Opposite element normal
face_or_edge: Create segment set:; 0 - On edge; 1 - On face; 10 - On edge for shells, do not consider break angle; 11 - On face for solids, do not consider break angle; 20 - On edge for shells, consider hidden entities; 21 - On face for solids, consider hidden entities; 30 - On edge for shell, do not consider break angle, consider hidden entities; 31 - On face for solid, do not consider break angle, consider hidden entities

To add elements 1-100 with faces defined by nodes 1-5 to the segment set "test" with a break_angle of 30.0:

*createmark elems 1 1-100
*createmark nodes 1 1-5
*segmentsetaddfaces "test" 1 1 30.0 0 1

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

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