*hf_ScaleBinderSurf

Scale the binder dimension. The binder is automatically identified.

Syntax

*hf_ScaleBinderSurf base_point_id scale_factor_x scale_factor_y scale_factor_z

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command increases and decreases the binder dimension. The binder is scaled relative to an origin node. The scaling can be uniform or not. If uniform scaling is requested, the scale factor in all directions should be set equal. Otherwise, it is possible to give different value to these factors in other to obtain a non-uniform scaling.

Inputs

base_point_id: The node ID to use as the base point for the scaling.
scale_factor_x: Scale factor in x.
scale_factor_y: Scale factor in y.
scale_factor_z: Scale factor in z.

Examples

To increase the binder dimension uniformly by a factor of 5 with respect to node ID 1434:

*hf_ScaleBinderSurf 1434 5 5 5

To decrease the binder dimension by a factor of 5 in the x, 10 in the y and 20 in the z with respect to node ID 1434:

*hf_ScaleBinderSurf 1434 0.2 0.1 0.05

Errors

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

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