Updates the offsets in the global system for multiple bar and/or bar3 elements.

mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the bar and/or bar3 elements to update. Valid values are 1 and 2.
update_offset_a: If non-zero, the offsets at end a are updated.
update_offset_b: If non-zero, the offsets at end b are updated.
offset_x_a: The offset in the x-direction at end a. This is defined in the global system.
offset_y_a: The offset in the y-direction at end a. This is defined in the global system.
offset_z_a: The offset in the z-direction at end a. This is defined in the global system.
offset_x_b: The offset in the x-direction at end b. This is defined in the global system.
offset_y_b: The offset in the y-direction at end b. This is defined in the global system.
offset_z_b: The offset in the z-direction at end b. This is defined in the global system.

To update bar element 23 with offset vector at end a defined as (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) and at end b as (4.0, 5.0, 6.0):

*createmark elements 1 23
*baroffsetupdate 1 1 1.0 2.0 3.0 1 4.0 5.0 6.0

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
