*maskentitymark

Masks the entities on the specified mark.

Syntax

*maskentitymark entity_type mark_id flag

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

This command masks the entities of entity_type that are on mark_id. Valid mark_ids are 1 and 2. Only entities in displayed collectors may be masked.

To mask connectors and the realized FE, a flag of 1 must be passed. To mask only connectors (excluding realized FE) and all other entity types, a flag of zero must be passed.

Currently supported entity_types for this command are:
  • connectors
  • points
  • lines
  • surfaces
  • solids
  • elements (both in components and groups)
  • ellipsoids
  • mbjoints
  • mbplanes
  • equations
  • loads
  • systems
  • vectors
  • tags
  • handles
  • domains
  • symmetries
  • morphconstraints
  • comps (connectors, points, lines, surfaces, solids, elements)
  • groups (main/secondary elements)
  • loadcols (equations, loads)
  • multibodies (ellipsoids, mbjoints, mbplanes)
  • systcols (systems)
  • vectorcols (vectors)

Example

To mask all of the displayed connectors and the realized FE:
*createmark connectors 1 displayed
*maskentitymark connectors 1 1
To mask all elements in components but not elements in groups:
*createmark comps 1 all
*createmark elems 1 "by comps on mark" 1
*maskentitymark elems 1 0
To mask all entities in all components:
*createmark comps 1 all
*maskentitymark comps 1 0

Errors

This command does not return any errors that can be handled.
