*hmplysmoothing
Smooth ply entities to get better shapes.
Syntax
*hmplysmoothing mark_id num_iters region_type tol split_ply
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
This command allows you to create smoothed geometry contour lines and surfaces for ply entities, with various options.
Inputs
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the plies for smoothing. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- num_iters
- The number of smoothing iterations to be run ≥ 0.
- region_type
- Flag indicating method used for very local and small ply coverage regions (element patch or hole) detection. Valid values are:
- small_tol
- Threshold value to identify local and small ply regions for elimination. The value depends on the region_type.
- split_ply
- 0 - Do not create separate ply entities from disconnected ply coverage regions
Example
To smooth all plies using 20 iterations, eliminating small ply regions with area less than 0.05 of the total design, and finally splitting disconnected ply coverage regions into separate ply entities:
*createmark plys 1 all
*hmplysmoothing 1 20 0 0.05 1
Errors
