Description
Creates solid elements between two groups of plate elements.
Inputs
- mark1
- The ID of the mark containing the first group of plate elements.
- mark2
- The ID of the mark containing the second group of plate elements.
- align1
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
- align2
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
- align3
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
- align4
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
- align5
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
- align6
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
- number
- The number of solid elements to be created between the two groups of plate elements.
- biasstyle
- The type of biasing to use.
- biasing
- The biasing factor for the mesh.
Example
To create 8 solids between plates 10, 11, 12, 13 and 20, 21, 22, 23, with alignment node 1 being node 5 and alignment node 2 being node 6:
*createmark element 1 10 11 12 13
*createmark element 2 20 21 22 23
*linearsolids 1 2 5 0 0 6 0 0 8
*createmark() is required and the marks used must contain plate elements.
Errors
None.
