hm_encodeshape

Generate an encoded string representing the shape of a geometry.

Syntax

hm_encodeshape entity_type mark_id ?<option1>=<value1>? ?<option2>=<value2>? ... ?<optionN>=<valueN>?

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Generate an encoded string representing the shape of a geometry.

entity_type: The type of entity to generate the encoding for. Valid values are surfs and elems.
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the input entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.

encoding_algorithm: The optional encoding algorithm to use. Valid values are:; 0 - sphhar technique (default)

sphhar_fallof: Optional, valid for encoding_algorithm 0, default 2.828427.

sphhar_resolution: Optional, valid for encoding_algorithm 0, default 64.

To calculate and diff the encodings from all surfaces against all elements:

*createmark surfs 1 all
set x [hm_encodeshape surfs 1]
*createmark elems 1 all
set y [hm_encodeshape elems 1]
hm_diffencodings $x $y

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

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