hm_compareentitiesrotate
Generates comparison results for entities rotated about a vector.
Syntax
hm_compareentitiesrotate source_entity_type source_mark_id target_entity_type target_mark_id tolerance vec_x vec_y vec_z base_x base_y base_z angle steps ?result_type? ?review_results?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Generates comparison results for entities rotated about an axis. This may find multiple matches, depending on the requested options. This must be preceded by a call to hm_compareinit.
These results can then be queried using hm_compareget* APIs, or written to a file using hm_comparewrite* APIs.
Inputs
- source_entity_type
- The type of source entity. Valid values are surfs or elems.
- source_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the source entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- target_entity_type
- The type of target entity. Valid values are surfs or elems.
- target_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the target entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- tolerance
- The tolerance value to use for the comparison.
- vec_x
- X-coordinate of a location along rotation vector.
- vec_y
- Y-coordinate of a location along rotation vector.
- vec_z
- Z-coordinate of a location along rotation vector.
- base_x
- X-coordinate of rotation vector base.
- base_y
- Y-coordinate of rotation vector base.
- base_z
- Z-coordinate of rotation vector base.
- angle
- The rotation angle to use for searching for matches.
- steps
- The number of steps to consider. This dictates how many increments of angle are searched for matches. For example, if angle is 45 and steps is 3, the angles 45, 90 and 135 will be searched. Must be ≥ 1.
