*vectorentity()

Syntax

*vectorentity (id systemid basenodeid headnodeid xcomp ycomp zcomp magnitude)

Type

HyperMesh HMASCII

Inputs

id
The ID of the vector.
systemid
The ID of the local coordinate system for the vector.
basenodeid
The ID of the node at the tail of the vector.
headnodeid
The ID of the node at the head of the vector (may be zero).
xcomp, ycomp, zcomp
The x, y, z unit components of the vector.
magnitude
The magnitude of the vector.

Example

This command must follow a *vectorcollector() definition. If headnodeid is non-zero, then xcomp, ycomp, zcomp, and magnitude are ignored during input. Otherwise, the xcomp, ycomp, zcomp and magnitude are used to describe the vector. A basenodeid must always be supplied.

Errors

None.
