*createnode

Creates a temp node using coordinate values.

Syntax

*createnode y z system_id surface_id geom_index

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

Creates a temp node using coordinate values.

Inputs

x
The x coordinate of the node.
y
The y coordinate of the node.
z
The z coordinate of the node.
system_id
The ID of the system which the node should reference.
surface_id
The ID of the surface to which the node is associated.
If association to geometry is required, use the *nodesassociatetogeometry command instead of this argument.
geom_index
The index into the geometry structure which identifies the face, edge, or vertex to which the node is associated. This is calculated internally and cannot be determined by you.
If association to geometry is required, use the *nodesassociatetogeometry command instead of this argument.

Examples

To create a node at 0, 0, and 0:
*createnode 0 0 0 0 0 0

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
