*linear1delements_byprojections mark_id1 mark_id2 config type density node1 node2

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Creates 1D elements between selected elements.

Inputs

mark_id1: The ID of the mark containing the elements defining the first boundary. Valid values are 1 and 2.
mark_id2: The ID of the mark containing the elements defining the second boundary. Valid values are 1 and 2.
config: The configuration of the 1D elements.
type: The type of the 1D elements.
density: The number of 1D elements created between the elements on mark_id1 and mark_id2.
node1: The ID of the first node defining the projection direction as node1-node2. If the value is specified as 0, the element normal is used.
node2: The ID of the second node defining the projection direction as node1-node2. If the value is specified as 0, the element normal is used.

Examples

To create four 1D elements between elements ID 5, 6, 7 and elements ID 10, 23, 34, with configuration 61 and type 2 and using element normal as the projection direction.
