hm_holedetectionsetentities

Defines the entities to consider for hole/tube detection.

Syntax

hm_holedetectionsetentities entity_type mark_id

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Adds entities to find holes in. Can be called multiple times with different entity types/selections and each call appends to any previous selections. Selections are cleared on any call to hm_holedetectioninit/hm_holedetectionend.

This must be preceded by a call to hm_holedetectioninit.

Inputs

entity_type: The type of entities to find holes in. Valid values are comps, surfs, solids and elems. If comps are specified, both geometry and FE are considered.
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.

Example

To write out all geometric shell hole details to a file named C:/temp/holes.txt:

set holesfile [open "C:/temp/holes.txt" "w"]
hm_holedetectioninit
*createmark surfs 1 all
hm_holedetectionsetentities surfs 1
hm_holedetectionsetholeparams hole_shape=31 
hm_holedetectionfindholes 1
set n [hm_holedetectiongetnumberofholes]
if { $n > 0 } {
puts $holesfile "Number of holes = $n"
puts $holesfile "Holes details"
for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
puts $holesfile "i = $i [hm_holedetectiongetholedetails $i]"
}
} else {
puts $holesfile "Holes not detected."
}
hm_holedetectionend
close $holesfile

Errors

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

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