hm_getelementcheckmethod
Returns the method (solver) currently being used for calculating specific element quality checks.
Syntax
hm_getelementcheckmethod check_name ?method_mode?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query
Description
This command returns the ID of the method (solver) used to calculate the specified element quality check. For element quality check parameters, their meanings and allowable values, see the *elementchecksettings command.
Inputs
- check_name
- Specifies the element quality check parameter to query. Valid values are:
- angle
- aspect_2d
- aspect_3d
- cell_squish_2d
- cell_squish_3d
- chord_dev
- equi_skew_2d
- equi_skew_3d
- jacobian_2d
- jacobian_3d
- min_len_2d
- min_len_3d
- skew_2d
- skew_3d
- solver
- taper
- tetra_collapse
- time_step
- warpage
- get_method_mode
- An optional parameter specifying the mode of retrieving of the returned method. Valid values are:
Example
To retrieve the method currently being used for calculation of the aspect ratio for 2D elements:
set aspect2dmethod [ hm_getelementcheckmethod aspect_2d]
To retrieve the method currently being used for calculation of the Jacobian for 2D elements:
set jacobian_method [ hm_getelementcheckmethod jacobian_2d]
Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To
detect errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
}
