hm_flangedetectionfindflanges
Executes the flange detection tools.
Syntax
hm_flangedetectionfindflanges find
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Runs the flange detection functions for finding flanges based on input entities and parameters. This must be preceded by calls to hm_flangedetectioninit, and hm_flangedetectionsetparams.
Inputs
- find
- Bit value defining the types of flanges to find (Bit0 + 2*Bit1):
- Bit0
- 0 - Do not find 2D flanges
- Bit1
- 0 - Do not find 3D flanges
Examples
To find 2D flanges from elements in all components, using a min width of 2, a max width of 20 and a feature angle of 20, and write out all flange details to a file named C:/temp/flanges.txt:
set flangesfile [open "C:/temp/flanges.txt" "w"]
*createmark comps 1 all
hm_flangedetectioninit comps 1
hm_flangedetectionsetparams min_width=2.0 max_width=20 feature_angle=20
hm_flangedetectionfindflanges 1
set n [hm_flangedetectiongetnumberofflanges]
if { $n > 0 } {
puts $flangesfile "Number of flanges = $n"
puts $flangesfile "Flanges details"
for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
puts $flangesfile "$i details = [hm_flangedetectiongetflangedetails $i]"
puts $flangesfile "$i midline = [hm_flangedetectiongetflangemidline $i offset_dist=0]"
}
hm_flangedetectionfindmates min_search_dist=0 max_search_dist=10
set m [hm_flangedetectiongetnumberofmatinggroups]
if { $m > 0 } {
for {set i 0} {$i < $m} {incr i} {
puts $flangesfile "$i = [hm_flangedetectiongetmatinggroupdetails $i]"
}
} else {
puts $flangesfile "Flange mates not detected."
}
} else {
puts $flangesfile "Flanges not detected."
}
