*edgesmerge

Combines two edges to create one unsuppressed common edge.

Syntax

*edgesmerge edge1 edge2 edge_tolerance

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Combines two edges to create one unsuppressed common edge.

Inputs

edge1
The first of two surface edges that you wish to combine
edge2
The second of two edges to be combined.
edge_tolerance
The edges must be within this tolerance; if they are further apart than this, they will not combine.

Example

To combine edges 25 and 26, using a tolerance of 0.1:
*edgesmerge(25,26,0.1)

This command is different from *linescombine() in that it enables combining edges that are not necessarily free but already have more than one surface connected. This provides a tool to create non-manifold (T-joint) topology, which may be required in tasks like thin plate modeling.
