*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_add_entities_with_buffer

Adds entities to the voxel domain with a number of buffer layers.

Syntax

*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_add_entities_with_buffer entity_type mark_id num_buffer_layers

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Adds entities to the voxel domain with a number of buffer layers. Voxel gridding is done along the intersection profile of the entities as well as the buffer layer.

This must be preceeded by a call to *voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_init and must be followed by a call to *voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_create.

Inputs

entity_type: The type of entity to add to the domain. Valid values are comps, elems, surfs, solids and lines.
mark_id: The ID of the mark of entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
num_buffer_layers: The number of buffer layers.

Example

To create voxels of size 10 for include components 100-110 with 3 buffer layers around comp 110, and exclude components 200-203:

*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_init 10
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_fill_voids 0
*createmark comps 1 100-109
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_add_entities comps 1 1
*createmark comps 1 100-110
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_add_entities_with_buffer comps 1 3
*createmark comps 2 200-203
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_remove_entities comps 2 1
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh_create
*voxel_lattice_hex_mesh end

Errors

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

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