Description

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used with *surfacemode 3 and one of the *drag...toformsurface commands.

Inputs

quads: If nonzero, specifies that the created elements should be quads.

Example

To drag six nodes -100 units in the direction of the y-axis and create 50 elements without creating a surface:

*surfacemode 3
*createlist nodes 1 5 10 6 11 12 7
*createvector 1 0.0000 1.0000 0.0000
*dragnodestoformsurface 1 1 -100.0000
