Updates the offsets in the global system for a single bar or bar3 element.

Syntax

*baroffset element_id offset_x_a offset_y_a offset_z_a offset_x_b offset_y_b offset_z_b

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Updates the offsets in the global system for a single bar or bar3 element.

element_id: The ID of the bar or bar3 element to update.
offset_x_a: The offset in the x-direction at end a. This is defined in the global system.
offset_y_a: The offset in the y-direction at end a. This is defined in the global system.
offset_z_a: The offset in the z-direction at end a. This is defined in the global system.
offset_x_b: The offset in the x-direction at end b. This is defined in the global system.
offset_y_b: The offset in the y-direction at end b. This is defined in the global system.
offset_z_b: The offset in the z-direction at end b. This is defined in the global system.

To update bar element 23 with offset vector at end a defined as (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) and at end b as (4.0, 5.0, 6.0):

*baroffset 23 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
