Hi,
I am going through the example of creating propagated hex group in the Trelis Pro website. Somehow, this command doesn’t work for me. For example, consider a 10x10x10 cube with hex element size of 1 (so this volume cube has 1000 hex element total).
I want to create a group(plus subgroup of a slice each…)that will propagate hex on the one source surface to the one ending surface.
I created a group name group2. Then I used this command:
group2 add hex propagate surface 1 target surface 6 multiple 2
(from my understanding, this command will create new group3 with subgroup of 5 within it…with each subgroup being every 2 layer hex ie 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th hex layer).
Somehow this command doesn’t work and spits out this message:
Group 2 doesn’t exist. Groups referred to by ID
must exist before being operated upon.
Why is that? I created group2 before I used that command e.g. there is a group name group2 with id 2.
Trying to debug this, I used the same command but without the multiple option:
group2 add hex propagate surface 1 target surface 6
and that command works fine as it is intended to do.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks for you help!
