Merge Components (Tcl command?)

Altair Forum User

Hi all,

I am searching for an easy way to merge multiple component into a single component. I have already done some preliminary search but found nothing about merging components.

For example:

I have a .hm file with 3 components, each containing different type of entities (e.g. nodes, elements, solids, surfaces, points etc.), all I want is to have a tcl command that moves all entities in these existing components into a new component, and delete all previous components. I went through the documentation of scripts (Tcl modify commands) and found nothing directly helpful for this purpose.

 

Experienced/knowledgeable users of HyperMesh, please help.

 

Best regards,

Mubeen.

Hi,

This is a way to find objective tcl commands

delete your command.cmf file

create a new component

F11 move elems, surfs, points to the created component

F2 delete empty components

 

Now open your command.cmf, you will see the tcl commands for your task

*collectorcreateonly ...

*createmark ...

*movemark ...

*deletemark ...
