Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Absorb entities using the tabular segregation interface.

Inputs

entity_type

The type of entity to absorb. Currently only supported for loads.

mark_id

The ID of the mark containing the entities to absorb. Valid values are 1 and 2.

value_rule

Specifies whether value-based segregation is desired and, if so, the type of tolerance provided:

0 - Do not segregate by value

1 - Segregate by value, tolerance is a ratio

2 - Segregate by value, tolerance is a percentage

3 - Segregate by value, tolerance is an absolute

tolerance

The tolerance value when value_rule is non-zero.

location_unit_rule

Specifies whether location unit-based segregation is desired and, if so, the type of entities considered:

0 - Do not segregate by location unit

1 - Segregate by location unit, all cases considered

2 - Segregate by location unit, consider only 2D shells

4 - Segregate by location unit, consider only 2D edges

6 - Segregate by location unit, consider 2D shells and 2D edges

8 - Segregate by location unit, consider only 3D faces

10 - Segregate by location unit, consider 2D shells and 3D faces

12 - Segregate by location unit, consider 2D edges and 3D faces

14 - Segregate by location unit, consider 2D shells, 2D edges and 3D faces

topology_rule

Specifies whether topology-based segregation is desired and, if so, the type of topologies considered:

0 - Do not segregate by topology

1 - Segregate by topology, all cases considered

2 - Segregate by topology, consider only non-adjoining mesh

4 - Segregate by topology, consider only component boundary

6 - Segregate by topology, consider non-adjoining mesh and component boundary

8 - Segregate by topology, consider only mesh edge

10 - Segregate by topology, consider non-adjoining mesh and mesh edge

12 - Segregate by topology, consider component boundary and mesh edge

14 - Segregate by topology, consider non-adjoining mesh, component boundary and mesh edge

face_angle

The face angle value when topology_rule specifies the mesh edge option.

edge_angle

The edge angle value when topology_rule specifies the mesh edge option.

preseve_parameters

0 - Do not preserve

1 - Preserve

max_cluster_count

The maximim number of clusters allowed per entity instance.
