*surfacetorusfull
Creates a torus with specified radii, and optionally, prepares it for immediate use in the automesher.
Syntax
*surfacetorusfull center normal vector minor radius major radius
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Creates a torus with specified radii, and optionally, prepares it for immediate use in the automesher. It also can identify a toroidal region for the automesher to use with the mesh without surface option.
Inputs
- center
- A node specifying the center of the torus.
- normal vector
- A node specifying the normal axis of the torus.
- minor radius
- The minor radius of the torus.
- major radius
- The major radius of the torus.
Example
To create a torus with center at node 1, normal at node 2, a minor radius of 5, and a major radius of 10, but not create any elements:
*surfacemode(4)
*surfacetorusfull(1,2,5.0,10.0)
The *surfacemode(4) directive tells HyperMesh not to pass the information on to the automesher for element creation.
Errors
None.
