Hi all,

I am using tcl commands for evaluating element quality checks in batch meshing (which are accessible via F10 key in hypermesh interactive mode).

The histograms/graphs for element edge max. lengths, element edge min. lengths, and element aspect ratios can be created using the commands:

set aspect_ratio 5

*createmark elements 1 'all'

*createmark elements 2

*elementtestaspect elements 1 $aspect_ratio 2 4 2 'Tetra Altitude Aspect'

as explained in the documentation. These commands generated the plots in interactive mode. However in batch meshing via tcl scripts I want to export these graphs, and there is no such 'command image' created in command.cmf when I export these graphs in interactive mode, neither such export commands are found in the documentation.

Anyone having experience/information related to this task, kindly help.

Best regards,

Mubeen.
