Description

Updates the offsets in the local system for multiple bar and/or bar3 elements.

Inputs

mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the bar and/or bar3 elements to update. Valid values are 1 and 2.
update_offset_a, update_offset_b: If non-zero, the offsets at end a, and end b are updated, respectively.
offset_x_a, offset_y_a, offset_z_a: The offset at end a in the x-direction, y-direction, and z-direction, respectively. This is defined in the local system at end a
offset_x_b, offset_y_b, offset_z_b: The offset at end b in the x-direction, y-direction, and z-direction, respectively. This is defined in the local system at end b.

Examples

To update bar element 23 with offset vector at end a defined as (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) relative to the local system at a and at end b as (4.0, 5.0, 6.0) relative to the local system at b:

*createmark elements 1 23
*baroffsetupdatelocal 1 1 1.0 2.0 3.0 1 4.0 5.0 6.0

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
