Macro normals

Hi all,

I created macro auto adjust normals:
  

 proc adjust_normals {} { 	*createmark comps 1 all 	*createmark elems 2 'by config' quad4 tria3 	set List_comps [hm_getmark comps 1] 	for {set n 0} {$n<[hm_marklength comps 1]} {incr n} { 		*createmark elems 1 'by collector' [lindex $List_comps $n] 		*markintersection elems 1 elems 2 		if {![hm_marklength elems 1]} {continue} else { 		set List_elems [hm_getmark elems 1] 		set ID_elems_ori [lindex $List_elems 0] 		*normalsadjust elems 1 $ID_elems_ori 0 0 		} 	} 	*normalsoff 	hm_usermessage 'Done.' }

but it doesn't work in some case, such as seperated components...
Please suggest a way to improve it.

    If you have access to Altair script exchange.Then kindly have a look at it.You would find readily available macros for similar request.

    Hi,

    the better way is isolate only tria3 and quad4

    then do a 'while loop' to adjust normal for elems 'by attached', then mask them, until no elems display

     

    more advanced, you should care about connectivity error (two areas share only 1 node?)

    and if there are T-connection (should select base elem on the largest area?)

    Thanks tinh,
    Did you mean 'by adjacent' because all components are connected by rbody?

    Hi, 

    I mean that should not loop through each component

    instead, loop through each 'attached elems area', do not care about RBODY because you isolated only tria3 and quad4

    so 'by attached' will not select over RBODY connection
