*hmmeshspin

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode 3 and one of the *spin...toformsurface commands.

Syntax

*hmmeshspin quads

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode 3 and one of the *spin...toformsurface commands.

Inputs

quads: If nonzero, specifies that the created elements should be quads.

Example

This example spins line 4 forty-five degrees about the given axis to identify a region approximating a surface of revolution, and without actually making a surface, creates 150 elements (15 on the line and 10 on the spin).
