hm_wadlinessetbumper

Sets the entities for the internal bumper components used for the internal bumper reference line and upper/lower leg grid point generation.

Syntax

hm_wadlinessetbumper entity_type mark_id

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Sets the entities for the internal bumper components used for the internal bumper reference line and upper/lower leg grid point generation. Unlike the hm_wadlinessetentities and hm_wadlinessetwipers APIs, using wadlinessetbumper will not reset any stored entities or generated reference lines. This allows you to set the bumper entities at any time during WADLines analysis and be able to extract any data which has already been calculated. This will allow you to reuse these marks if needed.

Inputs

entity_type: The entity type denoting the internal bumper. Valid values are elems, surfs and comps (elems take priority over surfs).
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the internal bumper entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
