*hmmeshsurfaceplane

Syntax

*hmmeshsurfaceplane quads

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode 3 and *surfaceplane.

Inputs

quads

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

Example

To create a square, planar surface normal to the x axis with the center at the origin, of size 10.0, and create 45 elements:

*surfacemode 3
*createplane 1 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
*surfaceplane 1 10.0
*set_meshedgeparams 0 5.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 1 9.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 2 5.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 3 9.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*hmmeshdrag 1
*storemeshtodatabase 0
