The problem of tcl command "*calculateElemDrapingAngles"

Hi,

Try loading a result file into hypermesh first (menu File>Load>Results)

maybe the command will take a loaded result file as it argument, and temporary not permit user to indicate it arbitrary.

Hi, tinh.

I found the result file (.../draping****.res) was generated automatically in the work directory when executing 'Drape Estimator' function. But this result file was deleted automatically when the 'Drape Estimator' function was finished. I cannot run the recorded command.tcl file properly because the generated process of the result file (or directory) was not recorded in 'command.tcl' file and the drape results no longer existed. I guess the 'Drape Estimator' operation called an 'unkown' command to calculate the drape parameters before the command '*calculateElemDrapingAngles' executed, but I don't know which 'unknown' command is called. I would appreciate it if you could help me solve this problem.

I attached the tested .hm file () and recorded command.tcl file () (only contained 'Drape Estimator' operation by right click on ply) and the catured picture about temporary drape results.

Hi,

What is 'Drape Estimator' function?

where can I access it?

Hi, tinh.

You can execute draping function by right click on ply folder or each ply and select 'Drape Estimator' from context menu. 

Thanks.

Hi, I will try it but currently, I am very busy, so please wait ... I am sorry.

Hi, tinh.

     If you have time, can you test it for me?

Thanks.

Mansin.

Hi

I invoke 'Drape Estimator', it pops up a window named 'Drape Estimator'

I click 'Apply', it runs, then a table is generated.

But I don't see any command output to command.tcl file

and I don't see any *.res file in working dir while it running, either.

if your hm version is low, please update to v2017.2

If you want to run drape estimator by script in v2017.2, the code is like this:

set ::ply_ids $PlyID

source [file join $hm_scripts_dir br views composite operations drapeestimator_perform.tcl]

wm withdraw .drapeestimatorgui

::hm::plydraping::OnApply

destroy .drapeestimatorgui

Hi, tinh.

Thank you very much for your reply and advices. The tcl codes can solve my problem.

regards,

Mansin

Hi, tinh.

     I found the code you advised cannot be run in HyperStudy. It seems that the code cannot be recogonized by HyperStudy properly. How to solve this new problem?

    Thanks.

Hi

I don't know anything about hyperstudy, so please ask hyperstudy users

tinh

Okay, Thank you very much.

I run this code () in command window:

'C:\Program Files\Altair\2017\hm\bin\win64\hmbatch.exe' -tcl 'E:\HyperWorks_Work\Drape_test\drape_test.tcl'

Some errors are obtained:

How to solve this problem?

Thanks.

It does not work with batch mesh.

Solution is to use hypermesh
