*solid_fixedptsmaker

Used in the Solidmap panel to create fixed points on the edges of selected components. These points are generated from nodes on the component’s edges that fall within a specified tolerance, and are meant to be transitory; use *solid_fixedpointssuppressor(1) to remove them.

Description

Used in the solidmap panel to create fixed points on the edges of selected components. These points are generated from nodes on the component’s edges that fall within a specified tolerance, and are meant to be transitory; use *solid_fixedpointssuppressor(1) to remove them.

Inputs

surf_mark_id
1 or 2, surface mark ID. Fixed points are to be made on the edges of these surfaces.
comp_mark_id
1 or 2, component mark ID. Nodes of the elements in the marked components are considered for making fixed points.
tol_rel
Tolerance relative to the average element size calculated from the elements in the inputed components.

Example

*solid_fixedptsmaker(1,1)
