Syntax

hm_flangedetectiongetmatingentities index1 index2

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Returns the entities for two mating flanges. This must be preceded by a call to hm_flangedetectionfindmates.

The entities are returned as two lists, one for each flange.

Inputs

index1

The index of the first flange, starting from 0.

index2

The index of the second flange, starting from 0.

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."
}

close $flangesfile
