OutNicVec()

Print out the NIC appropriate commands from the given coordinate nodes (node as a vector (X,Y,Z)) in the .inp file.

Usage

OutNicVec( fileName=None, nodeX=None, nodeY=None, nodeZ=None)

Parameters

fileName (string)
The .inp file name.
nodeX (string)
Data base path of the node including the X coordinate.
nodeY (string)
Data base path of the node including the Y coordinate.
nodeZ (string)
Data base path of the node including the Z coordinate.

Return Value

None

Errors

  • The nodeX, nodeY, nodeZ must exist in the data base.
  • The fileName must not be None.

Description

This routine prints out the NIC appropriate commands from the given coordinate nodes (node as a vector(X,Y,Z)) in the .inp file. For example,
nodeNic = ROOT + RS + 'NODAL_INITIAL_CONDITION'
OutNicVec( fileName= "." + name + ".nic",
           nodeX = nodeNic + RS + 'x_velocity',
           nodeY = nodeNic + RS + 'y_velocity',
           nodeZ = nodeNic + RS + 'z_velocity')
