hm_wadlinesgetwadpointtapeline

Returns coordinate data defining a line made by the measuring tape running from the ground to the specified WAD point along the vehicle.

Syntax

hm_wadlinesgetwadpointtapeline lateral_location distance

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Returns coordinate data defining a line made by the measuring tape running from the ground to the specified WAD point along the vehicle. The data will be returned as a list of doubles. Every three doubles are the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a point along the line. The line runs from the ground to the specified WAD point.

Inputs

lateral_location: The lateral location for the tape line, using the centerline of the vehicle as the origin. The location given must be a multiple of the spacing parameter set with hm_wadlinessetparameters. For example, if the value of spacing is 100.0, the values of the lateral_location must be 0.0, 100.0, -100.0, 200.0, -200.0, 300.0, etc...
distance: The distance from ground level to a WAD point, as measured along the vehicle.

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
