*linemesh_preparedata1

Prepares the selected entities for 1D meshing.

Syntax

*linemesh_preparedata1 entity_type mark_id break_angle config

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Prepares the selected entities for 1D meshing.

Each call to this command must be paired with a call to *linemesh_savedata1 or *linemesh_savedata_bar1 to clean up memory.

Inputs

entity_type
The type of entity to 1D mesh. Valid values are lines and nodes.
If the entities are nodes, only two nodes can be provided.
mark_id
The ID of the mark containing the entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
break_angle
If the angle between the lines’ tangents at a joint is greater than this value, the line is split to force a node at that location. If set to 0.0, no split will occur.
config
If configuration of the element to create. Only 1D configs are valid.

Example

To mesh lines 15 and 18 with a 30 degree break angle, creating rigid elements with no property:

*createmark lines 1 15 18
*linemesh_preparedata1 lines 1 30 5
*linemesh_saveparameters 0 3 0 0
*linemesh_saveparameters 1 2 0 0
*linemesh_savedata1 1 5 0 0

Errors

None.
