hm_getnodegeometry

Get the simplest geometry entity associated with the node.

Syntax

hm_getnodegeometry nodeID

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Query Command

Description

Get the simplest geometry entity associated with the node.

Inputs

nodeID: The ID of the node.

List containing two values. The first value is a type of geometry. It can have a value of none, point, line, or surface. The second value is an ID of the entity.

Example

hm_getnodegeometry 1

returns:

none 0

If the node is associated with more than one geometric entity, only the simplest one is returned by this command. For example, using this command for a node located on the edge of a surface would return "line" and the line’s ID, because the line is simpler (fewer dimensions) than the surface. (A corner node would return a point because the corner is a vertex.)

Errors

None.
