*automesh
Employs a surface-based automeshing algorithm to generate a mesh on a given surface face.
Syntax
*automesh face_index algorithm elem_type
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Employs a surface-based automeshing algorithm to generate a mesh on a given surface face.
Inputs
- face_index
- The index of the surface face to mesh.
- algorithm
- Determines the surface-based mesh generation algorithm to use to create elements for
the given face. Valid values are:
- 1 - Auto decide
- 2 - Map as rectangle
- 3 - Map as triangle
- 4 - Map as pentagon
- 5 - Advancing front
- 6 - Map as circle
- elem_type
- Flag indicating the elements generated for mapped meshing algorithms. Valid values
are:
- 0 - trias
- 1 - quads
- 2 - mixed
- 3 - right trias
- 4 - quads only
