GEOMETRY SURFACE SIDE-PNT [snam] lnam pnam [elt]

          

This command is used to create a 3-sided surface from 1 line and 1 point.

snam = name of surface, and used for later references to the surface.

lnam = name of line, or line combination.

pnam = name of a point.

elt = element type on the surface. Refer to command MESHING TYPES for a detailed description.

FEMGEN will generate two straight lines from the point to the ends of the line. Where lines already exist, between any of the points, new lines will not be created. A default element type of TR3 will be assumed if `elt' is omitted.

Return Level: GEOMETRY SURFACE

Examples:

1.

GEOMETRY SURFACE SIDE-PNT S1 L1 P1

Create a three-sided surface named S1. If the end points of line L1 are P2 and P3, the surface will have vertices P1, P2, and P3. The default element type of TR3 will be assumed.

2.

GEOMETRY SURFACE SIDE-PNT S1 L1 P1 TR6

Create a three-sided surface named S1. If the end points of line L1 are P2 and P3, the surface will have vertices P1, P2, and P3. The element type will be TR6.
