*edgesmerge
Combines two edges to create one unsuppressed common edge.
Syntax
*edgesmerge edge1 edge2 edge_tolerance
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Combines two edges to create one unsuppressed common edge.
Inputs
- edge1
- The first of two surface edges that you wish to combine
- edge2
- The second of two edges to be combined.
- edge_tolerance
- The edges must be within this tolerance; if they are further apart than this, they will not combine.
Example
To combine edges 25 and 26, using a tolerance of
0.1:
*edgesmerge(25,26,0.1)This command is different from *linescombine() in that it enables combining edges that are not necessarily free but already have more than one surface connected. This provides a tool to create non-manifold (T-joint) topology, which may be required in tasks like thin plate modeling.
