clear mark

Altair Forum User

hello 

 

*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'select nodes'

*duplicatemark nodes 1 0

*createlistpanel surfaces 1 'Select surface'
set targetsurf [hm_getlist surfaces 1]

set targetsurfid1 [hm_getentityvalue nodes [lindex $targetsurf 0] 'id' 0];

*markprojectnormallytosurface nodes 1 $surfaceid1

*clearmark all 1

*createlistpanel surfaces 2 'Select surface for mark node'

*createmarkpanel nodes 2 'select nodes'

if { [ catch {*surfacemarkaddnodesfixed 2 2 0.00026801845 0 } ] } {
# Handle error
}

*nodecleartempmark

*clearmark nodes 1

*clearmark surfaces 1

hm_setpanelproc {hm_callpanel 'automesh';}
 

 

 

In this program at clear mark I am not able to clear the surface stored in surfaces 1

 

and also not able to retrive surfaces 2 in *surfacemarkaddnodesfixed command 

 

so have look

Thank you

Hi,

 

Can you try this?

*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'select nodes'

*duplicatemark nodes 1 0

*createlistpanel surfaces 1 'Select surface'
set targetsurf [hm_getlist surfaces 1]

set targetsurfid1 [hm_getentityvalue nodes [lindex $targetsurf 0] 'id' 0];

*markprojectnormallytosurface nodes 1 surfaceid1

*clearmark all 1

*createlistpanel surfaces 2 'Select surface for mark node'

*createmarkpanel nodes 2 'select nodes'

if { [ catch {*surfacemarkaddnodesfixed 2 2 0.00026801845 0 } ] } {
# Handle error
}

*nodecleartempmark

*clearmark nodes 1

*clearmark surfaces 1

hm_setpanelproc {hm_callpanel 'automesh';}

Just removed $ before surfaceid1

 

Altair Forum User

its not working 

 

same error as mine 'atleast one surface must be selected'

 

and I want to remove all the mark before going to select surface and nodes for   *surfacemarkaddnodesfixed this command

Hi

You create a list of surfs, so need to use *clearlist instead of *clearmark

 

below red marks are potential buggy:

'nodes'  => should be 'surfs' ?

'*createlistpanel' create a list of surf, but using '*surfacemarkadd...'  ==> should be '*createmarkpanel surfs 2 ...

 

 

*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'select nodes'

*duplicatemark nodes 1 0

*createlistpanel surfaces 1 'Select surface'
set targetsurf [hm_getlist surfaces 1]

set targetsurfid1 [hm_getentityvalue nodes [lindex $targetsurf 0] 'id' 0];

*markprojectnormallytosurface nodes 1 $surfaceid1

*clearmark all 1

*createlistpanel surfaces 2 'Select surface for mark node'

*createmarkpanel nodes 2 'select nodes'

if { [ catch {*surfacemarkaddnodesfixed 2 2 0.00026801845 0 } ] } {
# Handle error
}

*nodecleartempmark

*clearmark nodes 1

*clearmark surfaces 1

hm_setpanelproc {hm_callpanel 'automesh';}

thank you very much 

 

*clearlist   worked 

Altair Forum User

in above program suppose I want to run the first part for some definite times

 

then I will press a perticular key or message (till time it should repeat same set of commands)

 

and then it redirects to second part is it possible??

Sorry I don't understand your meaning

Altair Forum User

*createmarkpanel surfaces 1 'Select surface for mark node'

*createlistpanel nodes 1 'select nodes'

*surfacemarksplitwithnodes 1 1
 

 

so I want to run above program 4-5 times depends on situation 

 

then I should run following once

 

*createmarkpanel nodes 1 'select nodes'

*duplicatemark nodes 1 0

*createlistpanel surfaces 1 'Select surface'

set targetsurf [hm_getlist surfaces 1]

set targetsurfid1 [hm_getentityvalue surfaces [lindex $targetsurf 0] 'id' 0];

*markprojectnormallytosurface nodes 1 $surfaceid1

*clearmark all 1

*clearlist surfaces 1 

*createmarkpanel surfaces 2 'Select surface for mark node'

*createmarkpanel nodes 2 'select nodes'
if { [ catch {*surfacemarkaddnodesfixed 2 2 0.00026801845 0 } ] } {
# Handle error
}

*nodecleartempmark

*clearmark nodes 2

*clearmark surfaces 2

hm_setpanelproc {hm_callpanel 'automesh';}
 

 

 

so is it possible??

 

I tried calling panel 'surface edit' instead of first part but it wont allow rest of program to continue 

??

tinh

yes, it is. i already tell you to use while loop. did you apply it?

Altair Forum User

Yes but while loop will continue for infinitely r8??

 

How can I skip that while loop after some iterations and then go to next command execution

tinh

don't you see break command?
