HM_Component

Syntax

struct HM_Component {
int size;
int error_status;
HM_EntityTopology mapped_hm_topo;
const char *component_name:
int num_faces;
int* faces;
int local_batchparamset_num;
};

Type

HyperMesh Ext API Function

Description

Contains information about an individual component in the topology of mesh areas defined by the HM_Topology structure.

The structure information is declared in hm_extapi.h.

The members are: size, error_status, mapped_hm_topo, component_name, num_faces, faces, and local_batchparamset_num

Inputs

size: Specifies the length, in bytes, of the structure. Use sizeof(HM_Component) for this member. This is used to distinguish the current version of HM_Component from possible future extended versions with additional members.
error_status: Used by API functions to return an error status. A value of zero indicates successful completion of a function using this structure.
mapped_hm_topo: Some API functions will use this member to return a handle to a component entity corresponding to the component specified by the HM_Component structure. On input, set to zero. The function HM_ExtAPI::GenerateMesh() does not use this member to return any values.
component_name: The name of the component (null-terminated string).
num_faces: The total number of topology faces included in the component.
faces: Pointer to an array of references to the faces included in the component. The number of values in the array must not be smaller than the value specified by num_faces.; Each number in the array represents a zero-based index in the array of HM_Face structures pointed by the faces member of the HM_Topology structure that contains this HM_Component structure in its components array.
local_batchparamset_num (optional): Reference to an individual batch mesh parameter/criteria file set for meshing of the face in the batch mesh mode.; Assign it as a positive number to specify a local batch mesh parameter set using the number of the set in the HM_GenerateMeshParamStruct local_batchparamsets array (zero-based index of the set in the array local_batchparamsets incremented by 1).; Assign it as -1 or 0 to batch mesh the component with the global parameter and criteria files from HM_GenerateMeshParamStruct.

Errors

None.
