*elementqualityoptimizenodenew

Optimizes a node location to improve the attached elements' quality index according to pre-set quality criteria.

Syntax

*elementqualityoptimizenodenew node_id midnodes_flag optimize_flag

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

This command optimizes a node location to improve the attached 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

node_id
The node ID.
midnodes_flag
Neighboring mid-nodes during optimization.
  • 0 - Do not consider neighboring.
  • 1 - Consider neighboring.
optimize_flag
Optimize the node location.
  • 1 - Along the surface.
  • 2 - Normal to the surface.
  • 3 - Along and then normal to the surface.

Example

To optimize the location of the nodes with ID's 102, 397 and 432 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
*reset_qa_calculator 1 89
*createmark elems 1 displayed
*elementqualitysetup 1
*elementqualityoptimizenodenew 102 1 1
*elementqualityoptimizenodenew 397 0 2
*elementqualityoptimizenodenew 432 1 1
*elementqualityshutdown 1

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
