hm_markbyfeature

Syntax

hm_markbyfeature input_mark_id output_mark_id param_string

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query

Description

Put entities on the specified output mark based on entities on the input mark selection and specified feature parameters.

Inputs

input_mark_id

The ID of the input mark. Valid values are 1 and 2.

output_mark_id

The ID of the output mark to put the entities selected by feature. Valid values are 1 and 2.

param_string

This string contain keyword/value pairs, separated by whitespace. Valid keywords are:

feature_mode

This is mandatory input parameter. Valid values are:

• 1 – Put on output mark lines representing circles. Input mark entity type is lines.
• 2 – Put on output mark lines representing circles. Input mark entity type is surfaces.
• 3 – Put on output mark surfaces representing cylinders. Input mark entity type is surfaces.
• 4 – Put on output mark surfaces representing fillets. Input mark entity type is surfaces.
• 5 – Put on output mark surfaces representing valve seats. Input mark entity type is surfaces.
• 6 – Put on output mark surfaces that contain internal discontinuities and high curvature areas. Input mark entity type is surfaces.

min_radius (optional)

This parameter filters output lines or surfaces by minimal curvature radius. Valid values are any value > 0.0, or a value < 0.0 to specify any radius.

max_radius (optional)

This parameter filters output lines or surfaces by maximal curvature radius. Valid values are any value > 0.0, or a value < 0.0 to specify any radius.

internal_only (optional)

Used only for feature_mode 1 or 2. If set to 1, all outer circles on surfaces will be excluded from the output.

closed_cylinder (optional)

Used only for feature_mode 3. If set to 1, all non closed cylinder surfaces will be excluded from the output.

valve_output (optional)

Used only for feature_mode 5. If set to 1, all surfaces representing the cylinder part of a valve seat will be excluded from the output.

Examples

To put on mark 2 all lines representing circles with radius between 1.0 and 15.0:

*createmark lines 1 all
hm_markbyfeature 1 2 "feature_mode 1 min_radius 1.0 max_radius 15.0"

To put on mark 2 all surfaces representing closed cylinders with any radius:

*createmark surfaces 1 all
hm_markbyfeature 1 2 "feature_mode 3 closed_cylinder 1 min_radius -1.0"

Errors

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