Description

Tests 2D and 3D elements for whether or not they pass the warpage element quality check, and puts those that fail on the specified outputmark.

Inputs

entities
The entity types to be checked. Currently, only elements is supported.
markmask
The mark that contains the elements to test.
angle
The value to use as a threshold beyond which elements should be considered to have failed the test (in degrees).
outputmark
The mark where HyperMesh should put the elements that fail the test.
dimension
A code telling to measure the dimension of:
  • 2 - Measure 2D elements.
  • 4 - Measure 3D elements.
contour
A code telling if HyperMesh should:
  • 0 - Display the results of the test normally.
  • 1 - Display the elements color coded by their ratings.
  • 2 - Build a histogram showing the distribution of ratings.
title
The title to label the curve in the histogram.

Example

*createmark(elements,1) "displayed"
*createmark(elements,2)
*elementtestwarpage(elements,1,5,2,2,0,"2D Element Warpage")
