::hwat::utils::PenetrationCheck
Translates the nodes or elements along a vector until penetration is caused, and then translates in the opposite direction until the penetration is zero (less than 1e-1).
Syntax
PenetrationCheck {Elemlist} {Nodelist} Xcomp Ycomp Zcomp distance systemid iterations
Arguments
- Elemlist
- A Tcl list of elements of the master assembly.
- Nodelist
- A Tcl list of nodes of the slave assembly.
- Xcomp
- The x-component of the vector to translate along.
- Ycomp
- The y-component of the vector to translate along.
- Zcomp
- The z-component of the vector to translate along.
- distance
- The distance by which to translate (only for the forward direction).
- systemid
- The system ID for the elements or nodes to translate.
- iterations
- The number of iterations in each direction.
Returns
- Success
- 1
- Failure
- {}
Example
::hwat::utils::PenetrationCheck [list 1002 1003 … 2002] [list 101 102 .. 509] 1.0 0.0 0.0 –15 2 5.Comments
If the system ID is 0, the nodes of the slave assembly are translated.
