*hmmeshsurfacecone

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode(3) and one of the *surfacecone...() commands.

Syntax

*hmmeshsurfacecone quads

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode(3) and one of the *surfacecone...() commands.

Inputs

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

Example

This example identifies a cylindrical region of radius 100 and height 200, and then has the automesher create 300 elements on it, with a density of 10 up the side and 30 around the circumference:

*surfacemode(3)
*surfaceconefull(180,86,100.0000,100.0000,1.0000,200.0000)
  *setedgemeshparams(0,10,0)
  *setedgemeshparams(1,30,0)
  *setedgemeshparams(2,10,0)
  *setedgemeshparams(3,30,0)
  *hmmeshsurfacecone(1)
  *storeAMelemstodatabase(0)
*ameshclearsurface()
*surfacemode(3) tells the automesher not to expect an actual surface.

The densities specified by the *setedgemeshparams() commands must be equal for opposite edges.

Errors

None.
