Description
Renumbers nodes and elements based on spatial locations.
Inputs
- entity_type
- The type of entity to renumber. Valid values are nodes and elements.
- type=<type>
- The type of renumbering, axis or adjacent.
- startid=<startid>
- The ID to be assigned to the first entity. The value must be an unsigned integer. This option also works with parameters of integer type.
- primaryidincrement=<primaryidincrement>
- The ID increment in the primary direction. The value must be an unsigned integer. This option also works with parameters of integer type.
- secondaryidincrement=<secondaryidincrement>
- The ID increment in the secondary direction. The value must be an unsigned integer. This option also works with parameters of integer type.
The following options apply to type=axis only:
- systemid =<systemid>
- The ID of system. For global system, a value of 0 must be used. The system should be either Cartesian or cylindrical.
- primaryaxis=<primaryaxis>
- The primary axis of the system. x=1, y=2 and z=3 for Cartesian systems. r=1, θ=2 and z=3 for cylindrical systems.
- primarytolerance=<primarytolerance>
- The allowed tolerance between entities in the primary direction. The value must be a double. This option also works with parameters of double type.
- secondaryaxis=<secondaryaxis>
- The secondary axis of the system. x=1, y=2 and z=3 for Cartesian systems. r=1, θ=2 and z=3 for cylindrical systems. This must not be equal to primaryaxis.
- secondarytolerance=<secondarytolerance>
- The allowed tolerance between entities in the secondary direction. The value must be a double. This option also works with parameters of double type.
The following options apply to type=adjacent only:
- startentityid=<startentityid>
- The ID of the start entity. This entity must be same as entity_type.
- primaryentityid=<primaryentityid>
- The ID of the primary entity. This entity must be same as entity_type and must be adjacent to the start entity.
- secondaryentityid=<secondaryentityid>
- The ID of the secondary entity. This entity must be same as entity_type and must be adjacent to the start entity.
Examples
Renumber nodes using axis type and local system 1 with primary axis 1 and secondary axis 2:
*createmark nodes 1 all
*spatialrenumbering nodes mark=1 type=axis systemid=1 startid=100 primaryaxis=1 primarytolerance=0.2 primaryidincrement=1000 secondaryaxis=2 secondarytolerance=0.2 secondaryidincrement=1
Renumber elements using adjacent type and integer parameter named priInc (parameter value 100) used as primary ID increment by name:
*createmark elems 1 all
*spatialrenumbering elems mark=1 type=adjacent startentityid=555 startid=1 primaryentityid=557 primaryidincrement={parameter name=priInc} secondaryentityid=556 secondaryidincrement=1
Renumber a single column/row of nodes using adjacent type. Only a single column/row of entities will be renumbered:
*createmark elems 1 all
*spatialrenumbering elems mark=1 type=adjacent startentityid=41 startid=1 primaryentityid=40 primaryidincrement={parameter id=5} secondaryentityid=0 secondaryidincrement=1
