*hmmeshspline

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a flexible surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used together with *surfacemode(3) and *splinesurface().

Syntax

*hmmeshspline quads

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a flexible surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used together with *surfacemode(3) and *splinesurface().

Inputs

quads: If nonzero, specifies that the created elements should be quads.

Example

To generate elements with densities of 10, 11, 10, and 10 along the given edges:

*surfacemode(3)
*createmark(lines,1) 1 2 7 8
*createplane(1,1.0000,0.0000,0.0000,0.0000,
0.0000,0.0000)
*splinesurface(lines,1,0,1)
  *setedgemeshparams(0,10,0)
  *setedgemeshparams(1,11,0)
  *setedgemeshparams(2,10,0)
  *setedgemeshparams(3,10,0)
  *hmmeshspline(1)
  *storeAMelemstodatabase(0)
*ameshclearsurface()
*surfacemode(3) tells the automesher not to expect an actual surface.

Errors

None.
