*rigidlinkinodecalandcreate

Creates a rigidlink elem by calculating the independent node based on selection of dependent nodes. Location of independent nodes will be at the geometric center of dependent nodes.

Description

Creates a rigidlink elem by calculating the independent node based on selection of dependent nodes. Location of independent nodes will be at the geometric center of dependent nodes.

Inputs

node_mark1
Mark for multiple dependent nodes.
set_id
Set that contains dependent nodes. Set type should be of nodes.
attach_set_option
Options for attaching set to rigidlink:
0- set will not be created when multiple dependent nodes are selected.
1- set will be created when multiple dependent nodes are selected and then assigned to rigidlink.
dof
Degrees of freedom. This is a six digit number.

Example

For creating a rigidlink elem by selecting only dependent nodes without the attach set option:

*rigidlinkinodecalandcreate(2,0,0,123456)

For creating a rigidlink elem by selecting only dependent nodes with the attach set option:

*rigidlinkinodecalandcreate(2,0,1,123456)

For creating a rigidlink elem by selecting only dependent node set with the attach set option:

*rigidlinkinodecalandcreate(0,2,1,123456)

*createmark() for nodes is required if a dependent node set is not selected.

Errors

None.
