Description
Tests 3D elements for whether or not they pass the orthogonality element quality check, and puts those that fail on the specified outputmark.
Inputs
- entity_type
- The entity types to be checked. Currently, elements is the only allowable option.
- input_mark_id
- The mark that contains the elements to test.
- orthogonality
- The value to use as a threshold beyond which elements should be considered to have failed the test.
- output_mark_id
- The mark where HyperMesh should put the elements that fail the test.
- dimension
- A code telling to measure the dimension of:
- 4 - Measure 3D elements.
- contour
- A code telling if HyperMesh should:
- 0 - Display the results of the test normally.
- 1 - Display the elements color coded by their ratings.
- 2 - Build a histogram showing the distribution of ratings.
- title
- The title to label the curve in the histogram.
Examples
To test all displayed 3D elements for an orthogonality value less than 0.2:
*createmark elements 1 "displayed"
*createmark elements 2
*elementtestorthogonality elements 1 0.2 2 4 0 "3D Orthogonality")Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect
errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
