TCL code for merging narrow surfaces.
Hi all, I want to know the TCL code to merge narrow surfaces like surfaces having width lesser than 3mm. Parameter file has that option and I want to do it using TCL code without using the parameter file.

Rachit

Dear Ben, thanks for your reply. But unfortunately this command distorts the surface geometry a lot. I just want some way to suppress edges of narrow surfaces rather than to merge them. I may use *selfstichcombine option but that too merge the surfaces than just suppressing the lines. This way meshing time increases exponentially.

What about *edgesuppress?

Thanks Ben for your reply. Yes, I may now select surface based on edge length and then suppress their edges.
