*solidmap_solids_set_mapface

Sets the surface shared by the 4 input points to the mapped type within a multiple-solid solidmap command block.

Syntax

*solidmap_solids_set_mapface point_id1 point_id2 point_id3 point_id4

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command is used to set the surface shared by the 4 input vertices to the mapped type with the input vertices as the corners. The 4 vertices must be distinct. If more than one surfaces share the 4 vertices, the resulting surface for type setting is random. The command has effect only for surfaces for which the mesh type is free to change (e.g. not an along face of a solid). This command can only be called between a *solidmap_solids_begin and *solidmap_solids_end command pair.

Inputs

point_id1: The ID of the first corner vertex.
point_id2: The ID of the second corner vertex.
point_id3: The ID of the third corner vertex.
point_id4: The ID of the fourth corner vertex.

Example

To mesh solids 32 and 41 with a default elem size of 2.0 except on the surface shared by points 10, 11, 12 and 13 which is to be of mapped type by these points:

*createmark solids 1 32 41
*solidmap_solid_begin 1 0 2.0
   *solidmap_solids_set_mapface 10 11 12 13
*solidmap_solid_end

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
