*nodecreatebetweennodes
Create nodes or points on line or surface between given list of nodes.
Syntax
*nodecreatebetweennodes entity_type entity_id node_list num_intervals_array array_size biasstyle biasintensity options
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
This command creates nodes or points at points on given line or surface, between given nodes. The input nodes are first projected onto the line or surface. The nodes/points are created between these projected points.
Inputs
- entity_type
- Valid types are "line" or "surf".
- entity_id
- ID of the surface or the line, on which nodes are going to be created.
- node_list
- List of nodes, between which additional nodes are going to be created.
- num_intervals_array
- Array containing the number of intervals to be created between each node in the node_list.
- array_size
- Size of the array num_intervals_array. Note that this size must be always one less than the number of nodes in the node_list.
- biasstyle
- The type of biasing to use:
- 0 - Linear biasing
- 1 - Exponential biasing
- 2 - Bell-curve biasing
- biasintensity
- The biasing intensity value. This value must be between -20 and 20.
- options
- Parameter specifying whether nodes or points are created. Valid values are:
- 0 - Nodes created.
- 1 - Points created.
Example
To create nodes on line 12, between nodes 8, 10 and 11, such that we want 20 intervals between nodes 8 and 10, and 5 intervals between nodes 10 and 11:
*createlist nodes 1 8 10 11
*createarray 2 20 5
*nodecreatebetweennodes lines 12 1 1 2 0 0 0
