*surfacesplinefrommesh

Syntax

*surfacesplinefrommesh shellelemmarkmask edgeelemmarkmask tol

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Creates geometry on selected 2D mesh elements. Uses selected plot elements to create edges between surfaces.

Inputs

shellelemmarkmask

Selection markmask for 2D mesh elements that are used to create surfaces.

edgeelemmarkmask

Selection markmask for plot 1D elements that are used to create boundaries between created surfaces.

tol

Maximal deviation of mesh points from created surfaces at boundaries. If the value is set to 0 or is negative, deviation is calculated internally based on the average size of mesh elements.

Example

To create geometry that fits set of 2D elements selected by markmask 1 and use 1D elements selected by markmask 2 to create boundaries between surfaces. Use automatically calculated tolerance for created boundaries.

*surfacesplinefrommesh(1, 2, 0)

Selection markmask for elements are created by *createmark command. The type of selected elements is being checked internally before processing. Therefore, the option for global selection (*createmark(elements,1) "displayed", for example) can also be used.

Errors

None.
