Generates a line of nodes between two existing nodes.
NODE1
, NODE2
Beginning and ending nodes for fill-in. NODE1
defaults
to next to last node specified, NODE2
defaults
to last node specified. If NODE1
= P, graphical
picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only
in the GUI).
NFILL
Fill NFILL
nodes between NODE1
and NODE2
(defaults
to |NODE2
-NODE1
|-1).
NFILL
must be positive.
NSTRT
Node number assigned to first filled-in node (defaults to NODE1
+ NINC
).
NINC
Add this increment to each of the remaining filled-in node
numbers (may be positive or negative). Defaults to the integer result of
(NODE2
-NODE1
)/(NFILL
+
1), i.e., linear interpolation. If the default evaluates to zero, or if zero
is input, NINC
is set to 1.
ITIME
, INC
Do fill-in operation a total of ITIMEs
,
incrementing NODE1
, NODE2
and NSTRT
by INC
each time after the first. ITIME
and INC
both
default to 1.
SPACE
Spacing ratio. Ratio of last division size to first division size. If > 1.0, divisions increase. If < 1.0, divisions decrease. Ratio defaults to 1.0 (uniform spacing).
Generates a line of nodes (in the active coordinate system) between two existing nodes. The two nodes may have been defined in any coordinate system. Nodal locations and rotation angles are determined by interpolation. Any number of nodes may be filled-in and any node number sequence may be assigned. See the CSCIR command when filling across the 180° singularity line in a non-Cartesian system.
