Description
Reads and plots the x-axis of the element (material) coordinate system for selected elements.
Inputs
- markmask
- Determines the selected elements.
- onlyorient
- If onlyorient = 1, the new x-element directions are displayed as vectors starting from the element center.
- normal_size
- If onlyorient = 1, it determines the size of the vectors to be displayed.
- color
- Determines the color of the vector or line. The color ID numbers range from 1 to 64.
Example
To review the element (material) coordinate system of four selected elements and display them as blue vectors (color 7) with size = 3:
*createmark(elements,2) 304 305 316 1841
*reviewsystem(2,1,3,7)
*vectorsoff()
The *createmark() and *vectorsoff() commands are required.
