*linearmesh
Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a flexible surfaceless algorithm that approximates a ruled surface. Can only be used together with *surfacemode(3) and one of the *linearsurface...() commands.

Description
Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a flexible surfaceless algorithm that approximates a ruled surface. Can only be used together with *surfacemode(3) and one of the *linearsurface...() commands.
Inputs
- quads
- If nonzero, specifies that the created elements should be quads.
Example
Identifies a region in the shape of a ruled surface and sends it into the automesher to create quad elements:
*surfacemode 3
*createlist nodes 1 1581 77 83 88 95
*createlist nodes 2 225 228 232 235 262
*linearsurfacebetweennodes 1 2 1
