Description
Creates a stiffened panel mesh between lines or on surfaces.
<option>=<value> options can be provided in any order.
Inputs
- entity_type1
- Must be set to lines.
- entity_type2
- Must be set to surfaces.
- BoundCurveU=<value>
- The ID of the curve to specify the U direction. Renumbering will begin where it intersects the BoundCurveV.
- BoundCurveV=<value>
- The ID of the curve to specify the V direction. Renumbering will begin where it intersects the BoundCurveU.
- CompName=<value>
- The prefix name of the components to create for beams and shells.
- DeleteGeom=<value>
- The option to keep or delete new geometries. This is a mandatory option.
- DestinationComp=<value>
- The component organization. This is a mandatory option.
- ElementID=<value>
- The start ID for element numbering.
- ElementU=<value>
- The number of shell elements in each panel in the U direction.
- ElementU=<value>
- The number of shell elements in each panel in the U direction.
- LineMark=<value>
- The ID of the mark containing the input lines. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- NodeID=<value>
- The start ID for node numbering.
- NoIntersectLineMark=<value>
- The ID of the mark containing the lines which are non-parallel and non-intersecting to LineMark. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- ManifoldSurf=<value>
- The option to create mesh in the surfaces:
- SurfaceMark=<value>
- The ID of the mark containing the input surfaces. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- Tolerance=<value>
- The tolerance for considering line intersections.
Example
To create stiffened panel mesh between selected lines:
*createmark lines 1 37 39 41 43 52
*createmark lines 2 21-25
*stiffenedpanelmesh lines surfs LineMark=1 NoIntersectLineMark=2 SurfaceMark=2 BoundCurveU=49 BoundCurveV=25 Tolerance=2.9149397464082 CompName=mypanel DestinationComp=0 DeleteGeom=1 ElementID=2004 NodeID=1138 ManifoldSurf=0 ElementU=2 ElementV=3
