Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Sets basic parameters for a WAD lines analysis.

Inputs

side_angle

The angle used to determine the side reference line (default 45.0).

front_angle

The angle used to determine the front reference line (default 50.0).

spacing

The distance between section cuts used to determine the WAD lines and reference lines (default 100.0).

rear_reference_radius

The size of the ball rolled along the windshield to find the rear reference line (default 100.0).

reference_resolution

The spacing between cross-sections used to determine the reference lines (default spacing/2).

upper_bumper_angle

The angle used to determine the upper bumper reference line (default 20.0).

lower_bumper_angle

The angle used to determine the lower bumper reference line (default 25.0).

corner_angle

The angle used to determine the corner reference lines (default 60.0).
