Renumber nodes´ids via tcl script

Altair Forum User

Hey everyone,

 

I'm having trouble at writing a tcl script that is able to change node ids in HM.

 

My question is, if there are functions for:

 - get the current node id of a specific node ( by typing in XYZ coordinates )

 - change an old node id to a new one by entering the old id/coordinates

 

I cant find it in the Hypermesh reference guide so it would be great if anyone could help me out.

hi,

to get node by xyz coordinate, use function hm_getclosestnode

or *createmark nodes 1 'by sphere' x y z r

to change node id you can use *renumber or *renumbersolverid

look at detail description of these functions in http://www.altairhyperworks.com/(S(3fu2zyrlbyi03xcofiue25jd))/hwhelp/Altair/hw12.0/help/hwdref/hwdref.htm?hypermesh_reference_guide.htm

Thank you for the reply.

 

But is there any possibility to get the current node id of a specific node? (Chosen from xyz)

 

I dont know what ID to type in, using the renumber function.
