Description

Returns the number of found hole/tube mating 'groups'. This must be preceded by a call to hm_holedetectionfindmates.

Example

To write out all geometric shell mate details to a file named C:/temp/holes.txt:

set holesfile [open "C:/temp/holes.txt" "w"]
hm_holedetectioninit
*createmark surfs 1 all
hm_holedetectionsetentities surfs 1
hm_holedetectionsetholeparams hole_shape=31 
hm_holedetectionfindholes 1
hm_holedetectionfindmates
set n [hm_holedetectiongetnumberofmates]
if { $n > 0 } {
puts $holesfile "Number of mates = $n"
puts $holesfile "Mate details"
for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
puts $holesfile "i = $i [hm_holedetectiongetmatedetails $i]"
}
} else {
puts $holesfile "Holes mates not detected."
}
hm_holedetectionend
close $holesfile

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
