Description

This command specifies for element remesh with feature edges, if 1D elements selected as features are also refined.

Use of this command implies that it will be followed by a command that performs remeshing/meshing by elements with redo option selected.

Inputs

flag: 0 – 1D elements selected as feature edges are not refined (default).; 1 – 1D elements selected as feature edges are refined. New 1D elements, connected to a new mesh, will be created

Example

To remesh elements 1-40 with element size 10 using 1D elements with IDs 100-110 as feature edges and create along these feature edges new, connected to created mesh, 1D elements with same properties:

*createmark elems 1 100-110
*elementsaddelemsfixed 1
*updatefeatures 1
*setusefeatures 1
*createmark elems 2 1-40
*defaultremeshelems 2 10.0 2 2 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 30
*setusefeatures 0

Errors
