hm_compareentitiesposition
Generates comparison results for entities positioned at a specific location.
Syntax
hm_compareentitiesposition source_entity_type source_mark_id target_entity_type target_mark_id tolerance n1_source n2_source n3_source n1_target n2_target n3_target ?result_type? ?review_results?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Generates comparison results for entities positioned at a specific location. This must be preceded by a call to hm_compareinit.
These results can then be queried using hm_compareget* APIs, or written to a file using hm_comparewrite* APIs.
Inputs
- source_entity_type
- The type of source entity. Valid values are surfs or elems.
- source_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the source entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- target_entity_type
- The type of target entity. Valid values are surfs or elems.
- target_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the target entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- tolerance
- The tolerance value to use for the comparison.
- n1_source
- The node ID for the source entity base (N1).
- n2_source
- The node ID for the source entity x-direction (N2).
- n3_source
- The node ID for the source entity xy-plane (N3).
- n1_target
- The node ID for the target entity base (N1).
- n2_target
- The node ID for the target entity x-direction (N2).
- n3_target
- The node ID for the target entity xy-plane (N3).
- result_type

Example
To write the detailed comparison results file to C:/temp/my_compare.txt for the comparison of surfs 1-20 and 101-120 with source N1/N2/N3 nodes 100/101/102 and target N1/N2/N3 nodes 200/201/202:
*createmark surfs 1 1-20
*createmark surfs 2 101-120
