KSYMM, Ncomp, NP1, NP2, NINC, KINC, NOELEM, IMOVE
Generates a reflected set of keypoints.
NcompSymmetry key:
X | — | X (or R) symmetry (default). |
Y | — | Y (or θ) symmetry. |
Z | — | Z (or Φ) symmetry. |
NP1, NP2, NINCReflect keypoints from pattern beginning with NP1 to NP2 (defaults
to NP1) in steps of NINC (defaults
to 1). If NP1 = ALL, NP2 and NINC are
ignored and pattern is all selected keypoints [KSEL].
If Ncomp = 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 NP1 (NP2 and NINC are
ignored).
KINCKeypoint increment between sets. If zero, the lowest available keypoint numbers are assigned [NUMSTR].
NOELEMSpecifies whether nodes and elements are also to be generated:
0 | — | Generate nodes and point elements associated with the original keypoints, if they exist. |
1 | — | Do not generate nodes and elements. |
IMOVESpecifies whether keypoints will be moved or newly defined:
0 | — | Generate additional keypoints. |
1 | — | Move original keypoints to new position retaining
the same keypoint numbers ( |
Generates a reflected set of keypoints (and corresponding mesh) from a given keypoint pattern by a symmetry reflection (see analogous node symmetry command, NSYM). The MAT, TYPE, REAL, and ESYS attributes are based upon the keypoints in the pattern and not upon the current settings. Reflection is done in the active coordinate system by changing a particular coordinate sign. Keypoints in the pattern may have been generated in any coordinate system. However, solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended.
