HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Creates a new element (/XELEM) of config 27 and type 1 using a node list. This is currently only supported for Radioss.

node_list_id: The ID of the ordered node list used to create the element. There must be at least 2 nodes in the list. Valid values are 1 and 2.
node_distance: The distance at which intermediate nodes are to be created. This also creates a node set from the new nodes.

Create an /XELEM element with nodes 1, 10, 20 and node distance as 2:

*createlist nodes 1 1 10 20
*xelem_bynodelist 1 2

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

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