Description

Use the projections of components or elements to mesh area connectors.

Inputs

ce_mark
The mark containing the area connectors..
entitytype
The type of entities to map from.
Comps
Elems
entitymark
The mark containing the comps or elems to map from.
vectorptr
The direction to project.
tolerance
The allowable distance from the comps/elems to the area connectors.
param1
For future use.

Examples

To mesh area connectors 1, 2, 3 using elements 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, with allowed distance 10.0, and projection direction (0.0, 1.0, 0.0):
*createmark(connectors, 1) 1, 2, 3
*createmark(elems, 1)4, 5, 6, 7, 8
*createvector(1, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
*CE_ConnectorAreaMapMesh(1, elems, 1, 1, 10.0, 0)

Meshed area connector displays as a plane with virtual elements.
