HMIN_form_system()

Syntax

HMIN_form_system(HM_entityidtype systemid, int type, char code, double origin[3], double axis[3], double plane[3],HM_entityidtype syscolid)

Type

HyperMesh hminlib Function

Description

Creates a valid system from three nodes and writes the information to HyperMesh.

Inputs

systemid

The ID of the system.

type

The type of system to be written.

• 0 - For a Cartesian system.
• 1 - For a cylindrical system.
• 2 - For a spherical system.

code

The code value is used to determine which point defines two of the three X, Y, or Z vectors of the system. The third vector is then defined by calculating the cross product of the origin to axis and origin to plane vectors. Code is interpreted by HMIN_unpacksystemcode() in the following manner:

• 1 Axis determines X vector of system.
• Plane determines Y vector of system.
• 2 Axis determines X vector of system.
• Plane determines Y vector of system.
• 3 Axis determines Y vector of system.
• Plane determines X vector of system.
• 4 Axis determines Y vector of system.
• Plane determines Z vector of system.
• 5 Axis determines Z vector of system.
• Plane determines Y vector of system.
• 6 Axis determines Z vector of system.
• Plane determines X vector of system.

origin

The coordinates of the point which specify the system's origin.

axis

The coordinates of the point which specify the system's axis.

plane

The coordinates of the point which specify the plane of the system.

syscolid

The ID of the system collector.
