Description

Creates an axisymmetry main plane for selected surfaces based on the specified axis. Modifies an axisymmetry main plane by imprinting secondary plane on the main plane or by imprinting lines, surfaces, or solids on the main plane.

Inputs

axisptx
The x coordinate of a point on the axis.
axispty
The y coordinate of a point on the axis.
axisptz
The z coordinate of a point on the axis.
axisx
The x coordinate of the axis.
axisy
The y coordinate of the axis.
AxiSymmId=<value>
The ID of the axisymmetry entity. Valid only when modified existing axisymmetry main plane.
axisz
The z coordinate of the axis.
CrossSectionId=<value>
The ID of the cross-section entity representing the active secondary plane cross-section.
Delete=<value>
The flag to delete the main plane. Valid value is 1.
ImprintGeomMark=<value>
The ID of the mark containing the lines, surfaces, or solids to be imprinted on the axisymmetry main plane. Valid values are 1 and 2 and should be always different from the VolumeSurfaceMark.
ImprintGeomType=<value>
The ID of the mark containing the user surfaces for user surface type axisymmetry main plane creation. Valid values are 1 and 2 and should be always different from the VolumeSurfaceMark.
MainCrossSectionId=<value>
The ID of the cross-section entity representing the main plane cross section.
MainSurfaceCreate=<value>
The flag to create main plane surface. Valid value is 1.
MainSurfaceId=<value>
The ID of the main plane surface entity. Valid only when modified existing axisymmetry main plane.
Modify=<value>
The flag to modify the main plane by imprinting secondary plane on the main plane or by imprinting lines, surfaces, solids on the main plane. Valid value is 1.
NumGeomInstances=<value>
The number of solids instances to be imprinted on the main plane.
SecondaryImprint=<value>
The flag to create first secondary plane imprint on the main plane. Valid value is 1.
UserSurfaceMark=<value>
The ID of the mark containing the user surfaces for user surface type axisymmetry main plane creation. Valid values are 1 and 2 and should be always different from the VolumeSurfaceMark.
VolumeSurfaceMark=<value>
The ID of the mark containing the surfaces for the axisymmetry main plane creation. Valid values are 1 and 2. This is mandatory for axisymmetry plane creation.
