Description

Perturbs handles on mark normal to elements

Inputs

handletype
Handles
markhandle
Handle mark number
elemtype
Elems
markelem
Element mark number
dist
Distance of perturbation
sym
Flag to use symmetry:
0 - Do not use symmetry
1 - Use symmetry
con
Flag to use constraints:
0 - Do not use constraints
1 - Use constraints
umark
Flag to only use in the mark:
0 - Use all elements to calculate normals
1 - Use only the selected elements to calculate normals

Example

*morphhandlepertnormal (HANDLES,1,ELEMS,1,3.0,1,1,1)

All handles on the mark will be given a perturbation equal to dist in the normal direction as determined by either the selected elements or by all elements. If symmetry is used,all handles linked to marked handles by symmetry will also be perturbed. If constraints are used, they will be applied to the perturbations.

None.
