TCL command to Reduce dependent nodes count and update the washer mesh accordingly
Hello All,
I want to reduce number of dependent nodes of rigid to 6 and update the rigid, washer ring mesh and surrounding mesh accordingly.
Lets say in above snap, it is having 16 dependent nodes and 4 washer rings. So i want to reduce the dependent node count from 16 to 6 and update rigid. and remove 3 washer rings and update mesh accordingly.
Please guide me to do this using TCL commands.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
they (script's authors) choose original density if it is > new density
I don't know why they want that!
But you can pass it by run this command before click on button "Add":
set ::fepre::AddWasher::params(edgeNodeNum) 6
And if you want to embed the codes into your script, use these commands:
*createmark nodes 1 $a_node_hole1 $a_node_hole2 ... *createstringarray 2 "layer_number = 1 uniform_layers = 1 hole_density = 6" "1 $washer_width" *add_multi_washer_elements 1 30 1 2 0 0 1 1
