TCl begginer

Altair Forum User

hello I have started working with tcl recently

 

I want to write programme for creating a node equivalence in two parts 

 

in large assemblies it become combursome to select all components and check for equivalence

 

i would like to know to write this programme and what are general guide lines for this

Thank you

A bit confused. Why don't you just Shift+F3 > equivalence all of them , instead a script?

hello thank you for reply tinh

 

I read that anasa there is command that will directly joins two independently meshed model by just changing the localised mesh so (only by selecting the elements in area and defining seam line )

 

I want to develope something like that

I don't understand

please tell namely what you want to do

suppose I have 100s of components meshed by different meshes 

 

then I want to create a tcl so that on only selecting two surfaces it should do node equivalence or trimming or extending the surface as per user instructions

 

and also remesh the localized area 

 

and take input from user like tolerance and all

 

and also edit the mesh around area and re mesh it to required size and create a uniform mesh do all the things done by node align and all 

 

so now based on previous examples available on the forum I have developed some of programmes for trimmimg and for node equivalance

 

the problem in node equivalence programme is its node showing the preview of node equivalance

 

and I also want to create a button on the user page I have followed tutorial available but unable to create a button

 

Thank you 

attaching files have check

Hi,

must have '$' sign in front of 'distance'

 

*equivalence components 1 distance 0 0 0
