*icelink()
Defines the independent nodes for an IC element in HMASCII format.
Syntax
*icelink (independentnodeid,dependentnodesmax,dependentnodeid_1,dependentdof_1,...,dependentnodeid_N,dependentnodedof_N)
Type
HyperMesh HMASCII Command
Description
Defines the independent nodes for an IC element in HMASCII format.
This must follow *ice(). The definition applies to the most recent IC created using *ice().
Nodes must also be defined using *node() before creating an element using those nodes.
Inputs
- independentnodeid
- The ID of the independent node to add.
- dependentnodesmax
- The number of dependent nodes associated with the independent node.
- dependentnodeid_N
- The dependent node ID. This is repeated along with dependentnodedof_N for each dependent node.
- dependentnodedof_N
- The dependent node DOF. This is repeated along with dependentnodeid_N for each dependent node.
Example
*ice(500,0,2,4)
*icelink(100,2,200,12,300,12)
*icelink(101,2,201,123,301,123)
