Description
Creates an RBE3 element. The attached set may be created from a given mark of dependent nodes while the RBE3 element is created.
Inputs
- entity_type
- The type of entity on the mark containing the independent entities. Valid values are nodes and sets.
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the independent nodes or sets of nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- independent_dofs
- The ID of the integer array containing the degrees of freedom for which each respective independent node of the element is active (any of the digits 1-6), created using *createarray. Must be set to 1.
- dof_size
- The size of the independent_dofs array.
- independent_weights
- The ID of the double array containing the weight for each respective independent node, created using *createdoublearray. Must be set to 1.
- weight_size
- The size of the independent_weights array.
- dependent_node
- The dependent node of the element. If set to 0, the dependent node will be auto-created at the centroid of the independent nodes.
- dof
- The degree of freedom code for which the dependent node of the element is active (any of the digits 1-6).
- weight
- The weight assigned to the dependent node.
- attach_set
- If set to 1, the attached set may be created from a given mark of dependent nodes while the RBE3 element is created.
Examples
To create an RBE3 element with dependent node ID 100 and independent nodes ID 101, 102, and
103 with all the nodes having all six degrees of freedom and a weight of
1.23:
*createmark nodes 1 101 102 103
*createarray 3 123456 123456 123456
*createdoublearray 3 1.230000 1.230000 1.230000
*rbe3withset nodes 1 1 3 1 3 100 123456 1.23 0Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect
errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
