Description
Creates a rectangular coordinate system.
Inputs
- mark
- The mark ID containing the nodes at which a system should be built.
- type
- The type of system being created.
- origin
- The ID of a node which defines the origin.
- axisname
- A string which identifies the axis being defined with the next parameter (x, y, or z).
- axispt
- The ID of a node which defines a point on the axis defined by axisname.
- planename
- A string which identifies the plane being defined with the next parameter (xy, xz, or yz).
- planept
- The ID of a node which defines a point on the plane defined by planename.
Example
To build a cylindrical system at node 12 with node 1 defining the origin, node 2 defining the x axis, and node3 defining the xy-plane:
*createmark(nodes,1) 12
*systemcreate(1,1,1,x,2,xy,3)
Errors
None.
