Scales the width of a field.
Syntax
*scalefieldwidth (field type, scalefactor)
Type
HyperMesh Template Command
Inputs
- field type
- Specifies which field type to scale. Valid values are "integer", "real", and "string".
- scalefactor
- The scale factor to apply to each field of field type. Typically, this value is 1 or 2.
Example
To print the node IDs and globalx values with a width of 16 instead of 8:
*nodes()
*before()
*variableset(variable1,2)
*scalefieldwidth(real,variable1)
*scalefieldwidth(integer,variable1)
*format()
*string("*")
*field(integer,id,8)
*string("*")
*end()
*string("*")
*fieldleft(real,globalx,8)
*string("*")
*end()
*output()
This command is typically used to write a deck that contains double precision numbers which have twice the field width specified by the *field command.
