Syntax

*reset_qa_calculator string_array number_of_strings

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

This command sets mesh quality criteria using a string array.

The criteria consists of data for the quality parameters and penalty values for thresholds. The same data structure is used for each of the quality parameters. The order of the array is predefined:

min_length max_length aspect_ratio warpage max_angle_quad min_angle_quad max_angle_tria min_angle_tria skew jacobian chordal_deviation ?taper? penalty_values

The ratings for the parameters must be monotonic (increasing or decreasing depending on the nature of the parameter).

The dimensionless threshold penalty values for ideal, good, warning, failed and worst parameter must be five monotonically increasing values.

Inputs

string_array

The ID of the string array that contains the input parameters. The string array is created using the *createstringarray command. This should always be set to 1.

number_of_strings

Integer indicating the size (number of strings) in the string array created using *createstringarray. Currently this must be set to either 89 (for legacy usage without taper defined) or 96 (with taper defined).

Example

To update using the following mesh criteria without taper (legacy usage):
