*linemesh_preparedata1

Prepares the selected entities for 1D meshing.

Syntax

*linemesh_preparedata1 entity_type mark_id break_angle config

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Prepares the selected entities for 1D meshing.

Each call to this command must be paired with a call to *linemesh_savedata1 or *linemesh_savedata_bar1 to clean up memory.

Inputs

entity_type: The type of entity to 1D mesh. Valid values are lines and nodes.; If the entities are nodes, only two nodes can be provided.
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
break_angle: If the angle between the lines’ tangents at a joint is greater than this value, the line is split to force a node at that location. If set to 0.0, no split will occur.
config: If configuration of the element to create. Only 1D configs are valid.

Example

To mesh lines 15 and 18 with a 30 degree break angle, creating rigid elements with no property:

*createmark lines 1 15 18
*linemesh_preparedata1 lines 1 30 5
*linemesh_saveparameters 0 3 0 0
*linemesh_saveparameters 1 2 0 0
*linemesh_savedata1 1 5 0 0

Errors

None.
