*solid_fixedptsmaker

Used in the Solidmap panel to create fixed points on the edges of selected components. These points are generated from nodes on the component’s edges that fall within a specified tolerance, and are meant to be transitory.

Description

Used in the solidmap panel to create fixed points on the edges of selected components. These points are generated from nodes on the component’s edges that fall within a specified tolerance, and are meant to be transitory.

Inputs

surf_mark_id: 1 or 2, surface mark ID. Fixed points are to be made on the edges of these surfaces.
comp_mark_id: 1 or 2, component mark ID. Nodes of the elements in the marked components are considered for making fixed points.
tol_rel: Tolerance relative to the average element size calculated from the elements in the inputted components.

Example

To create fixed points on the edges of surface 10 considering nodes and elements from component 3 with a relative tolerance of 5:

*createmark surfs 1 10
*createmark comps 1 3
*solid_fixedptsmaker 1 1 5

Errors

None.
