hm_getnodegeometry

Get the simplest geometry entity associated with the node.

Syntax

hm_getnodegeometry nodeID

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Get the simplest geometry entity associated with the node.

Inputs

nodeID
The ID of the node.

List containing two values. The first value is a type of geometry. It can have a value of none, point, line, or surface. The second value is an ID of the entity.

Example

hm_getnodegeometry 1

returns:

none 0

If the node is associated with more than one geometric entity, only the simplest one is returned by this command. For example, using this command for a node located on the edge of a surface would return "line" and the line’s ID, because the line is simpler (fewer dimensions) than the surface. (A corner node would return a point because the corner is a vertex.)

Errors

None.
