Creates a sphere with a specified center and radius, 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.

Description

Creates a sphere with a specified center and radius, 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

center
A node specifying the center of the sphere.
radius
The radius of the sphere.

Example

To create a sphere with center at node 1 and a radius of 45, but not create any elements on the sphere:

*surfacemode(4)
*surfacespherefull(1,45.0)

The *surfacemode(4) directive tells HyperMesh not to pass the information on to the automesher for element creation.

Errors

None.
