Description

Creates a mesh of solid elements by first extruding an existing 2D finite element mesh, and then mapping the extruded mesh into a volume.

Inputs

type
Identifies which type of geometry is being supplied.
  • 0 - Source and destination
  • 1 - Source and along
  • 2 - Source, destination, and along
sourcetype
Set to nodes, lines, or surfaces, this parameter identifies the geometry used to define the source face.
source
The mark ID which contains the data of the source face.
desttype
Set to nodes, lines, or surfaces, this parameter identifies the geometry used to define the destination face.
dest
The mark ID which contains the data of the destination face.
alongtype
Set to lines or surfaces, this parameter identifies the geometry used to define the along faces.
along
The mark ID which contains the data of the along faces.
genelems
Currently not used.
elements
The mark which contains the elements which are to be mapped into the volume.
density
The number of elements to be created between the source and destination faces.
biasstyle
The type of biasing to use.
biasing
The biasing intensity value.
