Description
Creates mass elements with the option to create the mass on the independent entities or to create a set out of those entities and attach the set to the element mass created.
Inputs
- entity_type
- The type of entity containing the nodes which the mass element will be created with. Valid entity types are comps, mats, blocks, assems, props, sets and nodes.
- mark_id
- The mark ID containing the entity_type entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- additional_node_mark_id
- The mark ID containing any additional nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- vis_node_id
- The visualization node ID.
- type
- The mass solver type. This depends on the current template.
- magnitude
- The magnitude of the mass.
- attach_sets_flag
- Indicates whether to create the mass on the independent selected entities or to create
a set out of those entities and create the mass on the set.
- 0 - Do not create set.
- 1 - Create set.
Examples
To create a mass element using components 1 through 3 as a set, visualization node 50, solver type 3 and magnitude of 5.5:
*createmark comps 1 1-3
*admascreatemultentselectwithsets comps 1 0 50 3 5.5 1Errors
