*hmmeshskin

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm that approximates a skin surface. Can only be used together with *surfacemode 3 and *skinsurface.

Syntax

*hmmeshskin quads

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm that approximates a skin surface. Can only be used together with *surfacemode 3 and *skinsurface.

Inputs

quads: If nonzero, specifies that the created elements should be quads.

Example

This example identifies a region in the shape of a skin surface across lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 and then creates 50 quad elements:

*surfacemode 3
*createlist lines 1 1 2 3 4
*skinsurface 1 1
*set_meshedgeparams 0 5.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 1 10.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 2 5.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 3 10.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*hmmeshskin 1
*storemeshtodatabase 0
*ameshclearsurface

Errors

None.
