*createCAERO2card start_id system_id origin_coordinate length n_int n_slend radii theta axis

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Creates a body component of type CAERO2.

Inputs

start_id
The ID from which the component and element numbering will start.
system_id
The ID of the local coordinate system which the mesh will be generated based on. A value of 0 indicates the global coordinate system.
origin_coordinate
The location of the origin. This must be 3 values enclosed in double quotes.
length
The length along the x-axis of the coordinate system.
n_int
The number of interference elements.
n_slend
The number of slender body elements.
radii
The radius at each interval along the length of the body. This must be the same number of values as given by n_slend, and must be enclosed in double quotes.
theta
The angle along the radial direction of the body. This must be the same number of values as given by n_int, and must be enclosed in double quotes.
axis
1 - x-axis
2 - y-axis
3 - z-axis

Examples

Create a body component with ID 677771, system ID 508, and considering the length along the y-axis of the coordinate system:
*createCAERO2card 677771 508 "1011.96772 124.925267 172.770859" 500 6 7 "0 40.0 40.0 50.0 60.0 60.0 80.0" "0 60.0 120.0 180.0 240.0 300.0" 2

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
