Description

Updates 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 update a design variable "dv1" to reference an existing PSHELL components "psh1" and "psh2" with a base thickness of 2.1 and total thickness of 3.5:

*createmark(components,1) "psh1"  "psh2"
*topologydesvarupdate(1,"dv1",2.1,3.5,1)

To update a design variable "dv2" to reference an existing PSOLID component "psol1":

*createmark(components,1) "psol2"
*topologydesvarupdate(1,"dv2",0,0,2)

Errors

None.
