*surfacespherefromfournodes
Creates a sphere which passes through the four specified nodes, and optionally, prepares it for immediate use within the automesher. It can also identify a region in the shape of such a sphere for the automesher to use under the mesh without surface option.
Syntax
*surfacespherefromfournodes list
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify
Description
Creates a sphere which passes through the four specified nodes, and optionally, prepares it for immediate use within the automesher. It can also identify a region in the shape of such a sphere for the automesher to use under the mesh without surface option.
Inputs
- list
- The list of the four nodes through which the surface will pass.
Example
To create a sphere which passes through nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4, but not create any elements on the sphere:
*surfacemode(4)
*createlist(nodes,1) 1 2 3 4
*surfacespherefromfournodes(1)*createlist() is required for this command. The *surfacemode(4) directive tells HyperMesh not to pass the information on to the automesher for element creation.
Errors
None.
