hm_holedetectionfindmates
Executes the hole/tube mating tools.
Syntax
hm_holedetectionfindmates ?parameter1=<>? ?parameter2=<>? etc
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Query Command
Description
Runs the hole detection mating functions for finding holes and tubes mating 'groups'. This must be preceded by a call to hm_holedetectionfindholes.
All other parameters are optional and have default values. Parameters can be specified in any order.
Inputs
- max_angle
- The maximum angle between the center line of holes/tubes. Default value 1.0.
- max_distance
- The maximum normal distance between the center of holes/tubes. Default value 10.0.
- max_lateral_distance
- The maximum lateral distance to allow. Default value 1.0.
- max_lateral_factor
- The maximum lateral distance to allow, defined by scaling the diameter of the current hole using this factor. This is not used by default and must be explicitly defined. This is ignored if max_lateral_distance is also defined.
- allow_hole_to_tube
- 0 - Do not allow mates to be found between holes and tubes (default)
- allow_mismatched_shapes
- 0 - Do not allow mates to be found between different shapes (default)
- allow_self
- 0 - Do not allow mates to be found within the same component (default)
Example
To write out all geometric shell mate details to a file named C:/temp/holes.txt:
set holesfile [open "C:/temp/holes.txt" "w"]
hm_holedetectioninit
*createmark surfs 1 all
hm_holedetectionsetentities surfs 1
hm_holedetectionsetholeparams hole_shape=31
hm_holedetectionfindholes 1
hm_holedetectionfindmates
set n [hm_holedetectiongetnumberofmates]
if { $n > 0 } {
puts $holesfile "Number of mates = $n"
puts $holesfile "Mate details"
for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
puts $holesfile "i = $i [hm_holedetectiongetmatedetails $i]"
}
} else {
puts $holesfile "Holes mates not detected."
}
hm_holedetectionend
close $holesfile
