*morphalterdistancevec

Syntax

*morphalterdistancevec h1type h1mark h2type h2mark n1 n2 hold dist sym con vec

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Alter the distance between two nodes using morphing and measuring along a vector.

Inputs

h1type

Handles

h1mark

Handle mark number – end a

h2type

Handles

h2mark

Handle mark number – end b

n1

ID of node – end a

n2

ID of node - end b

hold

Specify which part of the 2-node system to anchor:

0 - Hold end a

1 - Hold end b

2 - Hold middle

dist

New distance between n1 and n2

sym

Flag for use of symmetry:

0 - Do not use symmetry

1 - Use symmetry

con

Flag for use of constraints:

0 - Do not use constraints

1 - Use constraints

vec

Vector mark number

Example

*morphalterdistancevec (HANDLES,0,HANDLES,1,132,783,0,100.0,1,1,1)

The handles on the marks will be moved based on hold to create the new distance dist between n1 and n2 as measured along vector vec. If symmetry is used, all handles linked to marked handles by symmetry will also be perturbed. If constraints are used, they will be applied to the perturbations.

Errors

None.
