Examples
To create a circle centered at node 18, with radius 3.0, and in the plane whose normal is
defined by (0.0, 0.0,
1.0):
*createvector 1 0.0 0.0 1.0
*createlist nodes 1 18
*createcirclefromcenterradius 1 1 3.0 360.0 0.0Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect
errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
