*maskentitymark

Masks the entities on the specified mark.

Syntax

*maskentitymark entity_type mark_id flag

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command masks the entities of entity_type that are on mark_id. Valid mark_ids are 1 and 2. Only entities in displayed collectors may be masked.

To mask connectors and the realized FE, a flag of 1 must be passed. To mask only connectors (excluding realized FE) and all other entity types, a flag of zero must be passed.

Currently supported entity_types for this command are:

connectors

points

lines

surfaces

solids

elements (both in components and groups)

ellipsoids

mbjoints

mbplanes

equations

loads

systems

vectors

tags

handles

domains

symmetries

morphconstraints

comps (connectors, points, lines, surfaces, solids, elements)

groups (master/slave elements)

loadcols (equations, loads)

multibodies (ellipsoids, mbjoints, mbplanes)

systcols (systems)

vectorcols (vectors)

Example

To mask all of the displayed connectors and the realized FE:

*createmark connectors 1 displayed
*maskentitymark connectors 1 1

To mask all elements in components but not elements in groups:

*createmark comps 1 all
*createmark elems 1 "by comps on mark" 1
*maskentitymark elems 1 0

To mask all entities in all components:

*createmark comps 1 all
*maskentitymark comps 1 0

Errors

This command does not return any errors that can be handled.
