*set_midsurface_z_offset
Sets the z-offset value assigned to a midsurface.
Syntax
*set_midsurface_z_offset mark_id z_offset reserved
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
- Centered midsurface - When the thickness is assigned to the midsurface positioned in the middle between the plate sides.
- Midsurface with base z-offset - When the thickness is assigned to the midsurface which is shifted from the center to accommodate steps or a base surface.
- Midsurface side - When the thickness is assigned to the sides of the plate during the midsurface extraction.
Currently, this command will set the thickness origin to be "Centered midsurface". However, if this command is used to set a constant z-offset value on a variable thickness surface, it is no longer possible to position the variable thickness correctly. Therefore, this command should only be used for constant thickness surfaces.
Inputs
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the surfaces to update. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- z_offset
- The constant z-offset value to assign to the surfaces.
- reserved
- Reserved for future use. Must be set to 0.
Example
To set the z-offset value of surfaces 1-4 to 0.25:
*createmark surfs 1 1-4
*set_midsurface_z_offset 1 0.25 0
Errors
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
