*elementsaddnodesfixed

Marks the specified nodes of the old elements as fixed nodes (nodes that must be retained in the mesh to be created) before using the commands for remeshing/meshing by elements.

Syntax

*elementsaddnodesfixed elements_mark, nodes_mark

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Marks the specified nodes of the old elements as fixed nodes (nodes that must be retained in the mesh to be created) before using the commands for remeshing/meshing by elements.

Inputs

elements_mark: The mark of elements that are considered for remeshing/meshing by elements. Valid values are 1 and 2.
nodes_mark: The mark of nodes specifying the nodes to be retained in the new mesh. Valid values are 1 and 2.

Example

To remesh the elements 154, 155, 158, 159, 160, 161, 164, 165, 339, 341, 343, 345, and 347, and retain the nodes 210, 277, and 370 in the mesh to be created:

*createmark(elements,1) 154 155 158 159 160 161 164 165 339 341 343 345 347
*createmark(nodes,2) 210 277 370
*elementsaddnodesfixed(1,2)
*defaultremeshelems(1,3.0,2,2,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,30)

Using *elementsaddnodesfixed() implies that it will be followed by a command that performs remeshing/meshing by elements. For example, *defaultremeshelems(), *defaultmeshelems(), *interactiveremeshelems(), or *interactivemeshelems(). *createmark() directive is required for this command.
