*createcenternode

hugo_c

Hi i'm currently working on hypermesh tcl script 

I'd like to create a node at the center of a circle defined by three nodes. 

here's my script 

 

#Select face sup nodes
set nodes {}
hm_markclear nodes 1
*createmarkpanel nodes 1
set nodes [hm_getmark nodes 1]

#create center node
tk_messageBox -message '[lindex $nodes 0] [lindex $nodes 1] [lindex $nodes 2]'
*createcenternode [lindex $nodes 0] [lindex $nodes 1] [lindex $nodes 2]

 

unfortunately it doesn't work and i can't understand why.. 

 

Thank you

It says 'node specified not found'

Seem that you don't pick 3 nodes.

Hi Tinh, 

 

i changed my script for only : 

 

*createcenternode 9868 9869 9870 

 

And i still have the same error message.. why ?? 

I forgot to mention that i import these datas from a .dat file. Maybe i need a command to call all nodes, i don't know..

Edit : 

 

I got the same issue each time i'm calling nodes.

same with 

*vectorcreate_twonodes 9868 9869 

I believe there's a specific command to import nodes 

tinh

Try select 3 nodes then input 'hm_getmark nodes 1' to see ids

If they are there but *createcenternode says 'not found', it may be due to software bug

 

Your hm version?

Try renumbering all nodes?

So i changed my script for : 

 

#Select face sup nodes
proc func_nodes_sup {} {
    set nodes {}
    hm_markclear nodes 1
    *createmarkpanel nodes 1
    tk_messageBox -message '[hm_getmark nodes 1]'
} 

func_nodes_sup

Hm14 is very fool, don't use it.

Hm13 is the best.

 

Could you share the file? (just keep 3 elems at the hole and delete others)

Hi, 

 

Finally the issue comes from the fact that the .dat comes from Catia v5

 

Can't explain why 

imoto

Hi @Hugo Carlier

 

Please share your model.
 

Thanks,

Imoto

So, 

 

I noticed that in the .Dat file coming from CATIA v5, there were two lines creating and erasing a 'Dummy element' : 

' I   831786 N ! Dummy element '

' .MAI SUPPRIME   831786 ! Remove dummy element '

 

Honestly i don't know what it is but it turns out that after erasing these lines the file works perfectly back. 

 

Hope it'll help other users having the same issue.
