Description
Creates and updates coordinate systems.
<option>=<value> options can be provided in any order.
Inputs
- entity_type
- The type of input entity. Must be set to nodes.
- axisname=<value>
- The name of the axis to define. This is required. Valid values are:
- axisnode=<value>
- The axis node ID. This is required if coordinate values axisx, axisy and axisz are not given.
- axisx=<value>
- The axis x coordinate value. This is required if axisnode is not given.
- axisy=<value>
- The axis y coordinate value. This is required if axisnode is not given.
- axisz=<value>
- The axis z coordinate value. This is required if axisnode is not given.
- NodeMark=<value>
- The ID of the mark containing origin nodes at which to create systems. This is required if originx, originy and originz or originnode are not given.
- planename=<value>
- The name of the plane to define. This is required. Valid values are:
- originnode=<value>
- The origin node ID. This is required if originx, originy and originz or NodeMark are not given.
- originx=<value>
- The origin x coordinate value. This is required if originnode and NodeMark are not given.
- originy=<value>
- The origin y coordinate value. This is required if originnode and NodeMark are not given.
- originz=<value>
- The origin z coordinate value. This is required if originnode and NodeMark are not given.
- planenode=<value>
- The plane node ID. This is required if planex, planey and planez are not given.
- planex=<value>
- The plane x direction coordinate value. This is required if planenode is not given.
- planey=<value>
- The plane y direction coordinate value. This is required if planenode is not given.
- planez=<value>
- The plane z direction coordinate value. This is required if planenode is not given.
- system=<value>
- The system ID to be edited.
- type=<value>
- The type of system to create. This is required. Valid values are:
Examples
To create a new rectangular system:
*system nodes type=0 originx=0.01 originy=0.2 originz=0.3 axisname=z-axis axisx=0.3 axisy=0.4 axisz=0.2 planename=xz-plane planex=0.4 planey=0.6 planez=0.7
To update a system:
*system nodes type=RECTANGULAR originx=0.01 originy=0.2 originz=0.3
