*triangle_clean_up

Fixes sliver/bad quality elements which fail the user-defined aspect ratio.

Syntax

*triangle_clean_up entity_type mark_id <criteria>=<value>

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Fixes sliver/bad quality elements which fail the user-defined aspect ratio.

entity_type

The type of input entity. Valid values are elems and comps.

mark_id

The ID of the mark of input entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.

<criteria>=<value>

There are two possible criteria:

aspect=<value>: The elements failing this given aspect ratio value will be fixed. The aspect ratio is defined as the minimum height/longest edge.
height=<value>: The elements failing this given element height value will be fixed. The minimum height is defined as shortest distance from a node to opposite edge.

To correct all elements failing aspect ratio of 8:

*createmark components 1 "all"
*triangle_clean_up components 1 aspect=8 mode=3

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

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