Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Gets the thickness of the node whose ID is given as the argument.

Inputs

entityType
The type of the entity. Only nodes are currently supported.
nodeID
ID of the node.

Example

This function queries the surface definition to obtain the thickness at a given node location. To obtain the thickness value using this function, the node should be associated with a geometric surface that was created using midsurface extraction tools in HyperMesh. The function returns "-1" if the thickness at that location could not be obtained.
