*setedgedensitylink

Syntax

*setedgedensitylink method

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command sets the method for linking opposite edge densities during automeshing. This forces opposite edges of a surface to use consistent edge densities, provided that the starting densities are close enough. This creates tapered lines of elements, instead of using trias to transition between inconsistent densities. This is only valid for size and bias or edge deviation surface meshing.

Inputs

method

Specifies the method to use for edge density linking. Valid values are:

• 0 - Do not link opposite edge densities.
• 1 - Attempt to link opposite edge densities.

Example

To mesh surface 12 with first order elements of size 0.5, and specifying an edge density link:

*setedgedensitylink 1
*setoption element_order=1
*createmark surfaces 1 12
*interactiveremeshsurf 1 1 2 2 2 1 1
*set_meshfaceparams 0 2 2 0 0 1 0.5 1 1 
*set_meshedgeparams 0 32 1 0 0 0 1 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 3 5 1 0 0 0 1 0 0
*automesh 0 2 2
*storemeshtodatabase 1
*ameshclearsurface

Errors

None.
