Syntax

*linemesh_savedata_bar1 entity_type create_flag config property_id vector_id offset_x_a offset_y_a offset_z_a offset_x_b offset_y_b offset_z_b auto_flag organize

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Creates 1D elements, with options for bar2 elements, and cleans up memory.

Each call to this command must be paired with a previous call to *linemesh_preparedata1 or *linemesh_preparenodeslist1.

Inputs

entity_type

The type of entity to 1D mesh. Valid values are lines and nodes.

create_flag

0 - Do not generate elements.

1 - Generate elements.

config

The 1D element config ID of the elements to create. For bar2 elements, this should be set to 60.

property_id

The ID of the property to assign to the 1D elements.

vector_id

The ID of the y-axis vector to use, defined using the *createvector command. If used, this must be set to 1. This argument is only used if auto_flag is 0 and config is 60.

offset_x_a

The offset in the x-direction at end a. This argument is only used if config is 60.

offset_y_a

The offset in the y-direction at end a. This argument is only used if config is 60.

offset_z_a

The offset in the z-direction at end a. This argument is only used if config is 60.

offset_x_b

The offset in the x-direction at end b. This argument is only used if config is 60.

offset_y_b

The offset in the y-direction at end b. This argument is only used if config is 60.

offset_z_b

The offset in the z-direction at end b. This argument is only used if config is 60.

auto_flag

If set to 0, vector_id is used. Otherwise, vector type is set to auto. This argument is only used if config is 60.

organize

0 - Organize new 1D elements to current component.

1 - Organize new 1D elements to input lines component(s).

Examples

To mesh lines 15 and 18 with a 30 degree break angle, creating bar2 elements with no property or offset and using the auto vector:

*createmark lines 1 15 18
*linemesh_preparedata1 lines 1 30 60
*linemesh_saveparameters 0 3 0 0
*linemesh_saveparameters 1 2 0 0
*linemesh_savedata_bar1 lines 1 60 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0

To mesh between nodes 16, 17, and 2 with 3 rigid elements between nodes 16 and 17 and with 2 rigid elements between nodes 17 and 2, with no property assignment, organizing to the input line component(s):

*createlist nodes 1 16 17 2
*linemesh_preparenodeslist1 1 5
*linemesh_saveparameters 0 3 0 0
*linemesh_saveparameters 1 2 0 0
*linemesh_savedata_bar1 nodes 1 5 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1

Errors

None.
