*hmmeshsurfacetorus

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

Syntax

*hmmeshsurfacetorus 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 one of the *surfacetorus... commands.

Inputs

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

Example

This example identifies a region that corresponds to the upper half of a torus, and without making a surface, creates 400 elements with a density of 40 around the major circumference of the torus and 10 across the upper half.
