Description

Creates solid elements by spinning 2D elements around a plane normal.

Inputs

mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the elements to be dragged.
plane_id: The ID of the plane normal about which the elements should be spun, created using *createplane.
angle: The angle which the elements should be spun.
on_spin: The number of elements to create along the spin.
bias_style: The style of biasing to use.
biasing: The biasing intensity value.
organize: 0 - Elements to original component; 1 - Elements to current component

Example

To create 5 elements by spinning elements 10 and 11 about the plane normal defined by (0.0, 0.0, 1.0) and based at (20.0, 20.0, 0.0) by an angle of 90.0, and have the resulting elems in the original comp:

*createplane 0.0 0.0 1.0 20.0 20.0 0.0
*createmark elements 1 10 11
*meshspinelements2 1 1 90.0 5 1 0.0 0
