*solidmap_equivalence
Used for equivalencing two sets of nodes for solid mapped meshing.
Syntax
*solidmap_equivalence tolerance find_faces
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
This command is used by the solid mapping algorithm. It equivalences two sets of nodes, based on a given tolerance and, optionally, does a special find_faces operation.
For equivalencing, the first set of nodes are from the elements in the solidmap and ^faces components. The second set of nodes consists of all of the nodes not included in the first set but falling within the specified tolerance.
For the find_faces operation, 3D elements in the solidmap component are used to find the faces. All pre-existing faces are filtered out and the remaining faces are added to the ^faces component. See the command *solid_facesfind. This step is useful for continuing with the next solid map operation.
Inputs
- tolerance
- The tolerance to use for finding nodes in the equivalence operation.
- find_faces
- A flag indicating whether to perform the special faces operation. Valid values are:
Example
To equivalence the solidmap and ^faces nodes using a tolerance of 0.01 and finding the new faces:
*solidmap_equivalence 0.01 1
