Description
Tests 2D and 3D elements for whether or not they pass the skew element quality check, and puts those that fail on the specified outputmark.
Inputs
- entities
- The entity types to be checked. Currently, only elements is supported.
- markmask
- The mark that contains the elements to test.
- skew
- The value to use as a threshold beyond which elements should be considered to have failed the test (in degrees).
- outputmark
- The mark where HyperMesh should put the elements that fail the test.
- dimension
- A code telling to measure the dimension of:
- 2 - Measure 2D elements.
- 4 - Measure 3D elements.
- contour
- A code telling if HyperMesh should:
- 0 - Display the results of the test normally.
- 1 - Display the elements color coded by their ratings.
- 2 - Build a histogram showing the distribution of ratings.
- title
- The title to label the curve in the histogram.
Example
*createmark(elements,1) "displayed"
*createmark(elements,2)
*elementtestskew(elements,1,60,2,2,0,"2D Element Skew")The details of the skew element quality check can be found in the online help for the Check Elements panel.
