    Hello Satya 

    You can understanding how to write a tcl by taking note of the commands used in command.tcl file while performing the operations manually in the tool like line edit /split at joint It is present in Start In directory or Current working directory . (Edit -> Command File).

    For example : *surfaceaddpoint 10 170.302645 70.0000434 58.5009772 is a command that adds a point to surface with id 10 and co-ordinates (170.302645,70.0000434,58.5009772) . The *surfaceaddpoint are internal Hyperworks APIs which you can utilize to generate tcl scripts. 

    I would recommend to use Hyperworks search or Hyperworks reference guide to understand the syntax and arguments required for these commands. (https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwd/topics/reference/hm/_surfaceaddpoint.htm)

    The list for Tcl commands for Hyperworks are : https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwd/topics/chapter_heads/commands_and_functions_scripts_r.htm

    Do you plan the ask the user to select the red points for line splitting ? *createmarkpanel command can be used to take inputs and to save the inputs use hm_getmark command.
