Model.solid_prepare_nodeline

Model.solid_prepare_nodeline(start)

Setups an internal node array that is used by the solid mapping algorithm. It must be used within a Model.solidmap_prepare_usrdataptr() data input block. A data input block begins with Model.solidmap_prepare_usrdataptr() and ends with either a call to Model.solidmap_end() or the start of another data input sub-block.

Parameters:

start (int) – A flag that indicates how to handle the nodes on the previous node collection. A value of 0 indicates to start a new internal node array. Otherwise, the list is appended to the previous internal node array.

Example

For a solidmap using the following inputs: Source geometry - lines with IDs 73 and 51; Destination geometry - lines with IDs 32 and 41; Along geometry - lines with IDs 74 and 75, surfaces with IDs 100 and 95, nodes with IDs 80 and 101-105; Element size - 10.0
