*set_flags_for_2dmesh_context

Preserves selection topology used by 2D meshing.

Syntax

*set_flags_for_2dmesh_context <pption1>=<value1> ?<option2>=<value2>? ... ?<optionN>=<valueN>?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Preserves selection topology used by 2D meshing. This is useful while doing 2D meshing iteratively on fixed selections, but modifying edge and face settings iteratively.

Inputs

automatic: 0 - Does not delete FE for failed surface selection and continues to retain previous topology; 1 - Does not populate topology information, but ensures that when meshing fails, existing FE is deleted for given surface selection to ease identifying failed surfaces
interactive: 0 - Clear the last preserved topology information.; 1 - The next meshing command will populate topology information and preserve it for subsequent meshing calls. This allows changing meshing parameters on edges and faces. This also ensures that when meshing fails, existing FE is deleted for a given surface selection to ease identifying failed surfaces.

Examples

To set interactive meshing option to 1:

*set_flags_for_2dmesh_context interactive=1

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
