*elementqualityoptimizeelementnew

Optimizes 2D element node locations to improve the element and adjacent elements' quality index according to pre-set quality criteria.

Syntax

*elementqualityoptimizeelementnew element_id midnodes_flag

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

This command optimizes 2D element node locations to improve the element and adjacent elements' quality index according to pre-set quality criteria.

This command only functions between an *elementqualitysetup command and an *elementqualityshutdown command.

Current element quality criteria for optimization must be set with *reset_qa_calculator_from_file or with *reset_qa_calculator at least once before using this command. The command may be applied at any time without resetting the current quality criteria.

Inputs

element_id: The element ID.
midnodes_flag: 0 - Do not consider neighboring mid-nodes during optimization.; 1 - Consider neighboring mid-nodes during optimization.

Example

To optimize the node locations of the elements with IDs 397, 432 and 102 using quality criteria given in the example for *reset_qa_calculator:

*createdoublearray 89 1 1 15 13.5 6 3 1.5 1 1 15 18 22.5 30 45 1 1 1 2 4.4 5 10 1 1 0 5 8 10 90 1 1 90 110 125 135 180 1 1 90 70 55 45 0 1 1 60 80 100  120 180 1 1 60 50 30 20 0 1 1 0 10 35 45 90 1 1 1 0.9 0.75 0.7 0 1 0 0 0.3 0.8 1 2 1 1 2 6 8 10 15 0 0 0.8 1 10

Errors

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

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