Description

Applies a smoothing algorithm to a mark of elements for a given number of iterations. Optionally, one or more nodes may be specified as being anchored in place and not movable.

Inputs

tosmoothmark: The mark of elements to be smoothed. Need not be a contiguous block.
toanchormark: The mark of nodes on those elements that are not adjustable.
smoothmethod: The smoothing method to use.; 1 - autodecide; 2 - size corrected; 3 - shape corrected; 4 - angle corrected
iterations: The number of times to apply the smoothing operator.

Example

To smooth elements 100 through 110 twelve times with no nodes fixed:

*createmark(elements,1)100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108
   109 110
*createmark(nodes,2)
*marksmoothelements(1,2,1,12)

Both of the *createmark() directives are required for this command.

Errors

None.
