Description

This command sets the symmetry plane for the die module.

Inputs

normal_x
x-coordinate of the plane normal.
normal_y
y-coordinate of the plane normal.
normal_z
z-coordinate of the plane normal.
origin_x
x-coordinate of the plane origin.
origin_y
y-coordinate of the plane origin.
origin_z
z-coordinate of the plane origin.
shape_flag
A flag that identifies the following cases:
0 - Half model
1 - Full model that does not contain a symmetry plane
2 - Full model that contains a symmetry plane
3 - Symmetric model for double attached part feature
node_1
First node ID that identifies the portion of the part that is used by the double attached part feature.
node_2
Second node ID that identifies the portion of the part that is used by the double attached part feature.

Example

To set the symmetry plane z=0 for the die module:

*hf_setdiesymmetry 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 0. 0 0 0

Errors

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