Description
Applies a smoothing algorithm to a mark of elements for a given number of iterations. Optionally, one or more nodes may be specified as being anchored in place and not movable.
Inputs
- tosmoothmark
- The mark of elements to be smoothed. Need not be a contiguous block.
- toanchormark
- The mark of nodes on those elements that are not adjustable.
- smoothmethod
- The smoothing method to use.
- iterations
- The number of times to apply the smoothing operator.
Example
To smooth elements 100 through 110 twelve times with no nodes fixed:
*createmark(elements,1)100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108
109 110
*createmark(nodes,2)
*marksmoothelements(1,2,1,12)
Both of the *createmark() directives are required for this command.
Errors
None.
