index
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Returns details about a specific hole/tube. This must be preceded by a call to
hm_holedetectionfindholes.
Inputs
- index
- The index of the hole to get details for, starting from 0 up to the number of found
holes minus 1.
- General
hole:
0 0 {center x/y/z} {axis x/y/z} {entities ordered lines/nodes} {0 - No washer elements, 1 - Washer elements; Always 0 for geometry holes}
- Circular
hole:
0 1 radius {center x/y/z} {axis x/y/z} {entities ordered lines/nodes} {0 - No washer elements, 1 - Washer elements; Always 0 for geometry holes}
- Rounded

Example
To write out all geometric shell hole details to a file named
C:/temp/holes.txt:
set holesfile [open "C:/temp/holes.txt" "w"]
hm_holedetectioninit
*createmark surfs 1 all
hm_holedetectionsetentities surfs 1
hm_holedetectionsetholeparams hole_shape=31
hm_holedetectionfindholes 1
set n [hm_holedetectiongetnumberofholes]
if { $n > 0 } {
puts $holesfile "Number of holes = $n"
puts $holesfile "Holes details"
for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
puts $holesfile "i = $i [hm_holedetectiongetholedetails $i]"
}
} else {
puts $holesfile "Holes not detected."
}
hm_holedetectionend
close $holesfile
Errors
Incorrect usage results in a
Tcl error. To detect
errors, you can use the
catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
}
