Syntax

*penetrationdisplay contact_thickness part_thickness_scale display_mode normal_scale label segment_orientation magnitude_mode

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Displays the amount of penetration through nodes, vectors, or contour.

Inputs

contact_thickness

Supplied value of the contact thickness.

part_thickness_scale

Supplied value of the part thickness scale.

display_mode

Type of mode used to display penetration.

• 0 - Nodes
• 1 - Normal
• 2 - Contour

normal_scale

Greater than zero - uniform size or % of magnitude of vectors.

label

The vector label option.

• 0 - Vector labels off
• 1 - Vector labels on

segment_orientation

Flag for taking element normal into consideration for checking penetration.

• 0 - Elements normal will not be considered
• 1 - Elements normal will be considered

magnitude_mode

• 0 - Uniform size
• 1 - Percentage of magnitude

Example

For displaying the amount of penetration if a contact thickness supplied is 1.5, part thickness scale supplied is 1.0, display mode is normal, percentage of magnitude used is 50, vector labels are on, and segment orientation and percentage of magnitude are used:

*penetrationdisplay(1.5, 1, 1, 0.5, 1, 1, 1) 

The *penetrationcheck(), penetrationchecktwo(), or penetrationrecheck() command is required.

Errors

None.
