hm_flangedetectionend

Clear memory and ends the flange detection module.

Syntax

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Clears memory and ends the flange detection module. This must be preceded by any calls to hm_flangedetectioninit and other hm_flangedetection* APIs.

"Major" database changes made while inside of the flange detection module will invalidate and delete any results.

Examples

To find 2D flanges from elements in all components, using a min width of 2, a max width of 20 and a feature angle of 20, and write out all flange details to a file named C:/temp/flanges.txt:

set flangesfile [open "C:/temp/flanges.txt" "w"]
*createmark comps 1 all
hm_flangedetectioninit comps 1
hm_flangedetectionsetparams min_width=2.0 max_width=20 feature_angle=20
hm_flangedetectionfindflanges 1
set n [hm_flangedetectiongetnumberofflanges]
if { $n > 0 } {
    puts $flangesfile "Number of flanges = $n"
    puts $flangesfile "Flanges details"
    for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
        puts $flangesfile "$i details = [hm_flangedetectiongetflangedetails $i]"
        puts $flangesfile "$i midline = [hm_flangedetectiongetmidline $i 0]"
    }
    hm_flangedetectionfindmates
    set m [hm_flangedetectiongetnumberofmatinggroups]
    if { $m > 0 } {
        for {set i 0} {$i < $m} {incr i} {
            puts $flangesfile "$i = [hm_flangedetectiongetmatinggroupdetails $i]"
        }
    } else {
        puts $flangesfile "Flange mates not detected."
    }
} else {
    puts $flangesfile "Flanges not detected."
}
hm_flangedetectionend
close $flangesfile

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
