*setedgedensitylinkwithaspectratio
Sets the method for linking opposite edge densities during automeshing.
Syntax
*setedgedensitylinkwithaspectratio aspectratio
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
- aspectratio
- Specifies the aspect ratio to use for edge density linking. Valid values are:
- -1 - Do not link opposite edge densities.
- 0 - Attempt to link opposite edge densities with default value.
- > 0 - Attempt to link opposite edge densities with specified value.
Example
To mesh surface 12 with first order elements of size 0.5, and specifying an edge density link using a value of 2:
*setedgedensitylinkwithaspectratio 2
*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
