Description

Creates solid elements between two groups of plate elements.

Inputs

mark1
The ID of the mark containing the first group of plate elements.
mark2
The ID of the mark containing the second group of plate elements.
align1
The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
align2
The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
align3
The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
align4
The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
align5
The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
align6
The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
number
The number of solid elements to be created between the two groups of plate elements.
biasstyle
The type of biasing to use.
biasing
The biasing factor for the mesh.

Example

To create 8 solids between plates 10, 11, 12, 13 and 20, 21, 22, 23, with alignment node 1 being node 5 and alignment node 2 being node 6:

*createmark(element,1) 10 11 12 13
*createmark(element,2) 20 21 22 23
*linearsolids(1,2,5,0,0,6,0,0,8)

*createmark() is required and the marks used must contain plate elements.

Errors

None.
