Description
Creates solid elements between two groups of plane elements, with the layers identified by nodes in a node list.
Inputs
- mark1
- The ID of the mark containing the first group of plate elements.
- mark2
- The ID of the mark containing the second group of plate elements.
- align1
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
- align2
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
- align3
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
- align4
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
- align5
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
- align6
- The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
- nodelist
- The node list to be used to specify the locations of the layers.
Example
To create 8 layers of solids between plates 10, 11, 12, 13 and 20, 21, 22, 23 using, as
alignment nodes, nodes 5 and 13, and as layer-specifying nodes, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13:
*createmark element 1 10 11 12 13
*createmark element 2 20 21 22 23
*createlist nodes 1 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
*linearsolidsbynodelist 1 2 5 0 0 13 0 0 1 The nodelist nodes should begin with one belonging to an element on the first element mark and end with a corresponding one belonging to an element on the second element mark.
Errors
None.
