*geomnormalignmentmode

Syntax

*geomnormalignmentmode mode

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Sets the surface normal alignment mode. This applies both to the panel behavior, and the *surfacereversenormals API.

mode: 0 – Individual surfaces cannot be reversed. Normal consistency is maintained via the API and panel by extending the selection to the minimum set of surfaces.; 1 – Individual surfaces can be reversed via the API. Normal consistency is maintained via the panel by extending the selection to all connected surfaces. This is the pre-11.0 behavior.

To set the mode to the pre-11.0 behavior:

*geomnormalignmentmode 1

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

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