Splits a mark of surfaces with lines swept along a vector.

Syntax

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Changes the number of lines used to display an existing surface.

Inputs

mark
The mark ID of the surfaces.
lines
The number of lines used to display the surfaces.

Example

To display surfaces 15 and 16 with 4 display lines:

*createmark (surfaces,1) 15 16
*surfacemarkchangesurfacelines(1,4)

The number of lines is actually the number of lines in each direction in parameter space of the surface. Since there are two directions in parameter space, setting surface lines to two results in four lines on the surface (two in each direction).

Errors

None.
