Hi, I'm new to hypermesh and I want to use tcl script to generate mesh and export it to ansys. So I copy and modify some commands from the commands file and the script is here.
#pre process
*loaddefaultattributevaluesfromxml D:/Altair/hm/scripts/br/views/autocontact/ansys/DefaultAttribVals/Ansys.xml
*templatefileset [file join [hm_info -appinfo ALTAIR_HOME] templates feoutput ansys ansys.tpl]
#import iges file
*start_batch_import 3
*setgeomrefinelevel 1
*geomimport "auto_detect" "C:/Users/zpc/Desktop/test.iges" "CleanupTol=-0.01" "CreationType=Parts" "DoNotMergeEdges=off" "ImportBlanked=on" "SplitComponents=Part" "TargetUnits=CAD units"
*end_batch_import
#create constriants on geometry
*startnotehistorystate {Created Constraints}
*createmark surfaces 1 5-10 51-56
*loadcreateonentity_curve surfaces 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
*endnotehistorystate {Created Constraints}
#create element type
*startnotehistorystate {Sensor "SOLID285" created}
*createsensor "SOLID285"
*createmark sensors 2 "SOLID285"
*dictionaryload sensors 2 "D:/Altair/templates/feoutput/ansys/ansys.tpl" "SOLID285"
*startnotehistorystate {Attached attributes to sensor "SOLID285"}
*attributeupdateint sensors 1 141 8 0 0 285
*endnotehistorystate {Attached attributes to sensor "SOLID285"}
*endnotehistorystate {Sensor "SOLID285" created}
#mesh
*createstringarray 3 "pars: post_cln tet_clps='0.100000,0.300000,0.500000,1.000000,0.380000,0.100000'" "tet: 99 1.3 -1 0 0.8 0" "2d: 1 0 1 0.5 0.025 30 1"
*createmark solids 1 1
*tetmesh solids 1 0 elements 0 -1 1 3
#assign generated elements with created element type
*attributeupdateentity components 2 3081 8 2 0 sensors 1
*elementtype 204 31
*createmark elements 2 "all"
*elementsettypes 2
#export .cdb file
*retainmarkselections 0
*createstringarray 1 "HM_MERGELOADS_IN_LOADSTEP "
hm_answernext yes
*feoutputwithdata "D:/Altair/templates/feoutput/ansys/ansys.tpl" "C:/Users/zpc/Desktop/test.cdb" 0 0 1 1 1
The output is "Error: 599412 elements not defined in the template." so it seems like there are something wrong about assigning elements type code segment. But I can export cdb file successfully and display elements in ansys when I did same operation in GUI mode where the commands file record the same code above. Can you guys help me to get it correct? Thx!
