*morphvolumecreatenodes

Syntax

*morphvolumecreatenodes nodes etype emark han ord tan nauto

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Creates a morph volume for the given nodes enclosing the elements on the mark.

Inputs

nodes

Mark number of node list.

etype

Elems

emark

Mark number of elements to be enclosed.

han

0 = do not create handles for morph volumes

1 = create handles for morph volumes

ord

Order of morph volumes.

tan

0 = no tangency

1 = make neighboring morph volume edges continuously tangent

nauto

0 = do not register all nodes found inside morph volume

1 = register all nodes found inside morph volume

Example

*morphvolumecreatenodes 1 ELEMS 1 1 1 1 1 

This command creates a morph volume enclosing the elements on the mark and connecting to the specified nodes on the list.

The selected nodes must either define at least one morph volume face or be eight in number. The element mark may be empty, but if it is not the morph volume will be created in such a way that it encloses the elements if possible.

The order of the morph volumes (ord) refers to the number of mid-nodes along each edge with an order of one meaning there will be no mid-nodes, an order of two meaning that there will be one mid-node, and so forth.

Errors

None.
