Finding cylindrical faces in a 2D fe model

User: "Roshan Shiveshwar"

Hi,

Is there any API that can help me to find elems  or nodes on cylindrical/fillet faces in a 2D FE model?

 

I have come across following APIs. All seem to work for geometry but not FE model.

  • hm_getfilletfaces
  • hm_getfilletfacesbyprofile
  • hm_getfilletfacesfrommark
  • hm_markbyfeature

 

 

Thanks,

Roshan

    Hi,

    You can use *findfeatures

    and then use *createmark elems 1 'by face' to select elems on each feature

    Hi tinh,

     

    I could not find the API  - *findfeatures.

    I am a HM 14 user.  Is this API available in newer versions of HM?

     

    Thanks,

    Still , I am not sure what parameters are required to accurately identify the cylinders/ fillets.

     

    Is there any sample code available for this?
