*morphhandlescalexyz
Morphs a mesh by scaling the distances between handles and a specified node according to the specified system.

Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
This command will scale the positions of the selected handles with respect to a reference node and system. Scaling factors can be assigned for the x, y, and z directions independently. If no system is specified, the scaling factors will apply in the global x, y, and z directions. If no node is specified, the handle positions will be averaged to determine the position of the reference node. A scaling factor of 1.0 will produce no movement of the handle in that direction while a scaling factor of 0.0 will move the handle to the x, y, or z position of the node or system origin.
Inputs
- h_entity_type
- Must be set to handles.
- h_mark_id
- The mark ID of the handles. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- node_id
- ID of the scaling reference node (or 0).
- x
- Scaling factor in the x direction (1.0 is no scaling).
- y
- Scaling factor in the y direction (1.0 is no scaling).
- z
- Scaling factor in the z direction (1.0 is no scaling).
- system_id
- ID of the scaling reference system (or 0).
- sym
- 0 - Do not use symmetry links between handles
- con
- 0 - Do not apply constraints
Examples
To scale a mark of handles relative to a node and system:
*createmark handles 1 "all"
*morphscalehandlexyz handles 1 5 2.0 2.0 2.0 2 1 1To scale a mark of handles relative to the average position of the handles using the global system for x, y, and z:
*createmark handles 1 "all"
*morphscalehandlexyz handles 1 0 2.0 2.0 2.0 0 1 1
