Syntax

hm_compareentitiesposition source_entity_type source_mark_id target_entity_type target_mark_id tolerance n1_source n2_source n3_source n1_target n2_target n3_target ?result_type? ?review_results?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Generates comparison results for entities positioned at a specific location. This must be preceded by a call to hm_compareinit.

These results can then be queried using hm_compareget* APIs, or written to a file using hm_comparewrite* APIs.

Inputs

source_entity_type

The type of source entity. Valid values are surfs or elems.

source_mark_id

The ID of the mark containing the source entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.

target_entity_type

The type of target entity. Valid values are surfs or elems.

target_mark_id

The ID of the mark containing the target entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.

tolerance

The tolerance value to use for the comparison.

n1_source

The node ID for the source entity base (N1).

n2_source

The node ID for the source entity x-direction (N2).

n3_source

The node ID for the source entity xy-plane (N3).

n1_target

The node ID for the target entity base (N1).

n2_target

The node ID for the target entity x-direction (N2).

n3_target

The node ID for the target entity xy-plane (N3).

review_results

0 - Do not automatically show the graphical comparison results after execution.

1 - Automatically show the graphical comparison results after execution (default). This is cleared upon a call to hm_compareend.

Example

To write the detailed comparison results file to C:/temp/my_compare.txt for the comparison of surfs 1-20 and 101-120 with source N1/N2/N3 nodes 100/101/102 and target N1/N2/N3 nodes 200/201/202:

*createmark surfs 1 1-20
*createmark surfs 2 101-120
