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.
