Specifies the divisions and spacing ratio on unmeshed lines.
NL1
Number of the line to be modified. If ALL, modify all selected
lines [LSEL]. If NL1
= P, graphical
picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only
in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NL1
.
SIZE
If NDIV
is blank, SIZE
is
the division (element edge) length. The number of divisions is automatically
calculated from the line length (rounded upward to next integer). If SIZE
is
zero (or blank), use ANGSIZ
or NDIV
.
ANGSIZ
The division arc (in degrees) spanned by the element edge (except for straight lines, which always result in one division). The number of divisions is automatically calculated from the line length (rounded upward to next integer).
NDIV
If positive, NDIV
is the number
of element divisions per line. If -1 (and KFORC
=
1), NDIV
is assumed to be zero element divisions
per line. TARGE169 with a rigid specification ignores NDIV
and
will always mesh with one element division.
SPACE
Spacing ratio. If positive, nominal ratio of last division
size to first division size (if > 1.0, sizes increase, if < 1.0, sizes
decrease). If negative, |SPACE
| is nominal ratio
of center division(s) size to end divisions size. Ratio defaults to 1.0 (uniform
spacing). For layer-meshing, a value of 1.0 normally is used. If SPACE
=
FREE, ratio is determined by other considerations
KFORC
KFORC
0-3 are used only with NL1
=
ALL. Specifies which selected lines are to be modified.
0 | — | Modify only selected lines having undefined (zero) divisions. |
1 | — | Modify all selected lines. |
2 | — | Modify only selected lines having fewer divisions (including zero) than specified with this command. |
3 | — | Modify only selected lines having more divisions than specified with this command. |
4 | — | Modify only nonzero settings for |
LAYER1
Layer-meshing control parameter. Distance which defines the
thickness of the inner mesh layer, LAYER1
. Elements
in this layer are uniformly-sized with edge lengths equal to the specified
element size for the line (either through SIZE
or
line-length/NDIV
). A positive value for LAYER1
is
interpreted as an absolute length, while a negative value in interpreted as
a multiplier on the specified element size for the line. As a general rule,
the resulting thickness of the inner mesh layer should be greater than or
equal to the specified element size for the line. If LAYER1
=
OFF, layer-meshing control settings are cleared for the selected lines. The
default value is 0.0
LAYER2
Layer-meshing control parameter. Distance which defines the
thickness of the outer mesh layer, LAYER2
. Elements
in this layer transition in size from those in LAYER1
to
the global element size. A positive value of LAYER2
is
interpreted as an absolute length, while a negative value is interpreted as
a mesh transition factor. A value of LAYER2
=
-2 would indicate that elements should approximately double in size as the
mesh progresses normal to LAYER1
. The default value
is 0.0.
KYNDIV
0, No, and Off means that SmartSizing cannot override specified divisions and spacing ratios. Mapped mesh fails if divisions do not match. This defines the specification as "hard".
1, Yes, and On means that SmartSizing can override specified divisions and spacing ratios for curvature or proximity. Mapped meshing can override divisions to obtain required matching divisions. This defines the specification as" soft".
Defines the number of divisions and the spacing ratio on selected lines. Lines with previously specified divisions may also be changed.
This command is also valid for rezoning.
