Description

Converts the thickness of the specified entities to the target solver.

Currently this is supported only for Nastran to Abaqus conversion. It converts the element thickness to nodal thickness and puts the converted nodes on mark 1.

Inputs

entity_type: Entity type to convert. Currently only elements are supported.
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the entities to update. Valid values are 1 and 2.
source_solver_id: The ID of the source solver for the specified entities. This can be queried using hm_getsolver.
target_solver_id: The ID of the target solver for the specified entities. This can be queried using hm_getsolver.

Examples

To convert elements 1-100 from Nastran to Abaqus:

*createmark elems 1 1-100
*convertthickness elements 1 1 2

Errors

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

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