CONSTRUCT SCURVE

     

FEMGEN Command only.

This command is used to define a space curve in order to specify the variation of a value in space. At present space curves may only be attached to loads. Space curves may be defined in terms of a part's parametric space or in terms of the global coordinate system, in either case the curve is only considered to be valid between the limits defining the curve. A local coordinate system may be attached to a global space curve in order to re-orientate it.

Space curves may be viewed using the command UTILITY GRAPH SCURVE and may be attached to loads using the command PROPERTY ATTACH.

CONSTRUCT SCURVE has the following sub-commands:

2.3.7.3 CONSTRUCT SCURVE LINE - Define a space curve for a line

2.3.7.4 CONSTRUCT SCURVE SURFACE - Define a space curve for a surface

2.3.7.1 CONSTRUCT SCURVE BODY - Define a space curve for a body

2.3.7.2 CONSTRUCT SCURVE GLOBAL - Define a space curve in the global coordinate system
