*setedgedensitylinkbytypeandaspectratio
Sets the method for linking opposite edge densities during automeshing.
Syntax
*setedgedensitylinkbytypeandaspectratio type aspect_ratio
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
- type
- 0 - No edge linking, aspect ratio is ignored.
- aspect_ratio
- Specifies the aspect ratio to use for edge density linking. Valid values are:
Examples
To mesh surfaces specifying an edge density link using a value of 3:
*setedgedensitylinkbytypeandaspectratio 1 3.0
To disable linking:
*setedgedensitylinkbytypeandaspectratio 0
To force edge linking, if possible:
*setedgedensitylinkbytypeandaspectratio 2
