Description

This command will translate each shape on the mark by a vector measured from the basenode to each node on n_mark_id and affect only the nodes on a_mark_id. The shapes may be applied to the mesh, created as new shapes, added to existing shapes, or may replace existing shapes.

Inputs

s_entity_type

Must be set to shapes.

s_mark_id

The mark ID of the shapes. Valid values are 1 and 2.

n_entity_type

Must be set to nodes.

n_mark_id

The mark ID for the translate final position nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.

a_entity_type

Must be set to nodes.

a_mark_id

The mark ID for target nodes. Valid values are 1 and 2.

base_node_id

ID of the base node for translate initial positions.

mode

0 – Apply each shape to the mesh

1 – Apply each shape and add the perturbations to the original shape

2 – Apply each shape and overwrite the original shape

3 – Apply each shape and create a new shape or shapes

4 – Create a new shape or shapes but do not apply them to the mesh

tol

The "envelope" or distance around the translated shape inside which nodes are affected.

con

0 – Do not use constraints

1 – Use constraints

Examples

To translate a shape from one node to another and apply it to the mesh:

*createmark shapes 1 1
*createmark nodes 1 12
*createmark nodes 2 "all"
*morphtranslateshapemark shapes 1 nodes 1 nodes 2 11 0 3.0 1

To translate all shapes from one node to another and create new shapes, but only on selected nodes:

*createmark shapes 1 "all"
*createmark nodes 1 12
*createmark nodes 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
*morphtranslateshapemark shapes 1 nodes 1 nodes 2 11 4 3.0 1

Errors

if { [ catch {*morphtranslateshapemark shapes 1 nodes 1 nodes 2 11 0 3.0 1} ] } {
# Handle error
