Example
*morphmapsections ELEMS 1 NODES 1 LINES 1 NODES 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 This command maps selected elements to an interpolated cross section given the section lines optionally following the curvature differences (rotate) or mapping about an axis (axis and plane).
This command interpolates a number of *morphmapdifference() calls between line pairs. The initial lines are found by intersecting a plane normal to each section line with the selected elements. Thus, the selected elements should match up closely with the selected lines.
If blend is on, no fixed nodes have been selected, and no mapped nodes are a part of any domain, this command will automatically assign all non-mapped nodes as fixed nodes.
Errors
None.
