Description
Gets the thickness of the node whose ID is given as the argument.
Inputs
- entityType
- The type of the entity. Only nodes are currently supported.
- nodeID
- ID of the node.
Example
This function queries the surface definition to obtain the thickness at a given node location. To obtain the thickness value using this function, the node should be associated with a geometric surface that was created using midsurface extraction tools in HyperMesh. The function returns "-1" if the thickness at that location could not be obtained.
