hm_comparegetcomparea
Returns the comparison area of a specific component.
Syntax
hm_comparegetcomparea match_type match_location ?component_id? ?transformation_index?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Calculates the area values for a specific component. This must be preceded by a call to a relevant hm_compareentities* command. hm_comparesetflags should also be set to 1.
Inputs
- match_type
- The type of match to query for the area. Valid values are:
- match_location
- The location of the entities to query for the area. Valid values are:
- component_id
- The ID of the component to query. If not specified, or given as 0, then the area for the entire source or target is calculated (same behavior as hm_comparegetarea). Ensure that the specified ID matches with the requested match_location.
- transformation_index
- The index of the transformation to query, starting with 0. The number of transformations can be found using hm_comparegettransformationcount.
