Problems for Automation using trim hole macro

Altair Forum User

I have created automation using standard trim hole macro.

i just wanna give center node for triming a hole around it. i have used standard macro TrimMeshWithCircle.tcl for this

and given my expected Hole radius as default and by default also ticked box for minimum no. of nodes

and i made changs in this file where BuildTKDialog method has been called as below methods called directly after that.

BuildTKDialog

Quit

MultipleTrimHoles

but it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't.

generally when i use it for first time i need to create couple of holes manually and then modified macro works.

Does anyone know how should i go for this.

or what should i make necessary changes to work this macro correctly at any time.

Thanks in advance.

You can do what you want using core functions in the rigids panel. Is you are making a multiple nodes rigid, then change the independent node to 'calculate node', then the center node is averaged based on the dependent mode locations.
