Creates a hexa20 element in HMASCII format.
Syntax
*hexa20 (id,type,node1,node2,node3,node4,node5,node6,node7,node8,node9,node10,node11,node12,node13,node14,node15,node16,node17,node18,node19,node20,propertyid)
Type
HyperMesh HMASCII
Description
Creates a hexa20 element in HMASCII format.
This must follow *component(). The element will be assigned to the most recent component created using *component().
Nodes must also be defined using *node() before creating an element using those nodes.
Inputs
- id
- The ID of the element.
- type
- The solver specific element type.
- node1
- The ID of the first node.
- node2
- The ID of the second node.
- node3
- The ID of the third node.
- node4
- The ID of the fourth node.
- node5
- The ID of the fifth node.
- node6
- The ID of the sixth node.
- node7
- The ID of the seventh node.
- node8
- The ID of the eighth node.
- node9
- The ID of the ninth node.
- node10
- The ID of the tenth node.
- node11
- The ID of the eleventh node.
- node12
- The ID of the twelfth node.
- node13
- The ID of the thirteenth node.
- node14
- The ID of the fourteenth node.
- node15
- The ID of the fifteenth node.
- node16
- The ID of the sixteenth node.
- node17
- The ID of the seventeenth node.
- node18
- The ID of the eighteenth node.
- node19
- The ID of the nineteenth node.
- node20
- The ID of the twentieth node.
- propertyid
- The ID of the property directly assigned to the element. If specified as 0, the property is taken from the component.
Example
To create a hexa20 element with ID 100, solver type 1, nodes 1 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 and direct property ID 5:
*hexa20(100,1,1,20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,5)Errors
