Hypermesh

Manoj Yandra

I have few nodes (lets say 12 nodes) in circular fashion numbered with known ids (say 1,2,3,.....,12). How to generate mesh from the above nodes in a drag fashion in hypermesh tcl

Just perform this action in HM and check the command.tcl file. This is the simplest way of getting the commands.

But in this case you need to take care, as the mesh won't be enclosed.

 

*createlist nodes 1 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16
*createvector 1 0 0 1
*dragnodestoformsurface 1 1 77.777
*set_meshfaceparams 0 1 2 0 0 1 0.5 1 1
*set_meshedgeparams 0 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 1 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 2 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 3 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*automesh 0 1 2

I have used similar script which you suggested, but the script stops running at '*set_meshfaceparams' line. can you please run the script which i provide and tell me if there is any mistake

 

*startnotehistorystate {Drag and mesh}
*createlist nodes 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
*createvector 1 5.48432114e-06 2.64328133 4.50066159e-06
*dragnodestoformsurface 1 1 2.64328133
*set_meshfaceparams 0 1 2 0 0 1 0.5 1 1
*set_meshedgeparams 0 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 2 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*set_meshedgeparams 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*automesh 0 1 2
*storemeshtodatabase 0
*ameshclearsurface 
*endnotehistorystate {Drag and mesh}

 

I developed this script from tcl file after performing the drag option manually

 

The dialog box appears as 'Error 0 0' after run. When i searched in google, it is said to be a return value which means TCL OK. But I couldn't understand why the script stopped.

Sorry, company policy issues. can't share. The nodes are in X-Z plane in circular fashion which need to be dragged along Y axis
