Returns the angle between two lines at one of their intersection points.

Syntax

hm_getlinelineangle line_id1 line_id2 x y z

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Returns the angle between two lines at one of their intersection points. If the specified point is found to be on both lines, then it calculates the angle between the lines at this point and returns its value in degrees. Otherwise, an error is returned.

Inputs

line_id1: The ID of the first line.
line_id2: The ID of the second line.
x y z: The coordinates of the intersection point.

Example

To find the angle between line 43 and line 58 at point (4.7, 6.88, 9.4):

hm_getlinelineangle 43 58 4.7 6.88 9.4

Errors

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

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