Description
Creates a topology design variable.
Inputs
- markmask
- The mark that contains the components.
- name
- The name of the design variable.
- basethickness
- The base thickness of the components (applies to only PSHELL components).
- designthickness
- Total thickness of the components (applies to only PSHELL components).
- componenttype
- Type of the components.
- 1 - PSHELL
- 2 - PSOLID
- 3 - PCOMP
Examples
To create a design variable "dv1" that references existing PSHELL components "psh1" and
"psh2" with a base thickness of 2.1 and total thickness of
3.5:
*createmark(components,1) "psh1" "psh2"
*topologydesvarcreate(1,"dv1",2.1,3.5,1)To create a design variable "dv2" that references an existing PSOLID component
"psol1":
*createmark(components,1) "psol2"
*topologydesvarcreate(1,"dv2",0,0,2)
