Syntax

hm_wadlinesgetreferenceline line_location ?offset? ?method?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Returns coordinate data defining WAD reference lines.

Inputs

line_location

The location of the line to query (0=front, 1=rear, 2=left, 3=right, 4=upper bumper, 5=lower bumper, 6=left corner, 7=right corner). The data will be returned as a list of doubles. Every three doubles are the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a point along the line. The lines all run from front to back and from left to right.

offset (optional)

Argument that defines an offset to apply when querying the rear, left and right reference lines. A positive value offsets the line toward the center of the bonnet by the specified value. Negative values are supported, but should not be necessary.

method

The method to use for measuring the offset distance.

0 - Euro NCAP (default if not specified)

1 - Homologation

2 - ECER
