*linearsurfacebetweennodes
Creates a ruled surface between two node lists.
Syntax
*linearsurfacebetweennodes list1 list2 reverse
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Creates a ruled surface between two node lists. Optionally it can immediately be use within the auto mesher. It can also identify a region in the shape of a ruled surface for the auto mesher to use under the mesh without surface option.
Inputs
- list1
- The ID of the first list of nodes forming one side of the surface.
- list2
- The ID of the second list of nodes forming one side of the surface.
- reverse
- Indicates whether the nodes should be tested for a "bow tie" condition and reversed if necessary (1 for yes, 0 for no).
Example
Identifies a region in the shape of a ruled surface and sends it into the automesher to create quad elements:
