*linemesh_saveparameters

Assigns meshing parameters to line or node list segments for 1D meshing.

Syntax

*linemesh_saveparameters segment density bias bias_style

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Assigns meshing parameters to line or node list segments for 1D meshing.

Each call to this command must be paired with a call to *linemesh_preparedata1 or *linemesh_preparenodeslist1.

Inputs

segment: The ID of the segment within the line or node list selection. This index is 0 based.
density: The element density to use for that segment.
bias: The biasing value of the element length to use along the given segment.
bias_style: The style of biasing to use. Valid values are:; 0 - linear; 1 - exponential; 2 - bell curve

Example

To mesh lines 15 and 18 with a 30 degree break angle, with 3 elements in the first segment, and 2 elements in the second segment, 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.
