hm_compareentitiestranslate
Generates comparison results for entities translated along a vector.
Syntax
hm_compareentitiestranslate source_entity_type source_mark_id target_entity_type target_mark_id tolerance vec_x vec_y vec_z distance steps ?result_type? ?review_results?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Generates comparison results for entities translated along a vector. This may find multiple matches, depending on the requested options. 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.
- vec_x
- X-coordinate of translation direction.
- vec_y
- Y-coordinate of translation direction.
- vec_z
- Z-coordinate of translation direction.
- distance
- The translation distance to use for searching for matches.
- steps
- The number of steps to consider. This dictates how many increments of distance are searched for matches. For example, if distance is 45 and steps is 3, the distances 45, 90 and 135 will be searched. Must be >= 1.

Example
To write the detailed comparison results file to C:/temp/my_compare.txt for the translational comparison using a distance of 45 and 6 steps, of surfs 1-20 and 101-120 along the y-direction:
*createmark surfs 1 1-20
*createmark surfs 2 101-120
