hm_encodeshape
Generate an encoded string representing the shape of a geometry.
Syntax
hm_encodeshape entity_type mark_id ?<option1>=<value1>? ?<option2>=<value2>? ... ?<optionN>=<valueN>?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
longDescription
Inputs
- entity_type
- The type of entity to generate the encoding for. Valid values are surfs and elems.
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the input entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- encoding_algorithm
- The optional encoding algorithm to use. Valid values are:
- sphhar_bandwidth
- Optional, valid for encoding_algorithm 0, default 16.
- sphhar_fallof
- Optional, valid for encoding_algorithm 0, default 2.828427.
- sphhar_radii
- Optional, valid for encoding_algorithm 0, default 32.
- sphhar_resolution
- Optional, valid for encoding_algorithm 0, default 64.
Examples
To calculate and diff the encodings from all surfaces against all elements:
*createmark surfs 1 all
set x [hm_encodeshape surfs 1]
*createmark elems 1 all
set y [hm_encodeshape elems 1]
hm_diffencodings $x $y
Errors
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
