Description

Updates a topology design variable with an extrusion constraint.

Inputs

name: The name of the design variable.
extrusiontype: Type of extrusion.; 0 - none; 1 - no twist; 2 - twist
primarynodelist: The ID of the list of nodes that define the primary extrusion path.
secondarynodelist: The ID of the list of nodes that define the secondary extrusion path. These nodes are required only when extrusiontype is 2 (twist).

Example

To update a design variable "dv1" with a twist type extrusion constraint, primary path through nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4, and secondary path through nodes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9:

*createlist(nodes,1) 1 2 3 4
*createlist(nodes,2) 5 6 7 8 9
*topologyextrusionupdate("dv1",2,1,2)

This command applies only to topology design variables of type PSOLID.

Errors

None.
