KTRAN, KCNTO, NP1, NP2, NINC, KINC, NOELEM, IMOVE
Transfers a pattern of keypoints to another coordinate system.
KCNTOReference number of coordinate system where the pattern is to be transferred. Transfer occurs from the active coordinate system.
NP1, NP2, NINCTransfer 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 NP1 = 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 ( |
Transfers a pattern of keypoints (and corresponding mesh) from one coordinate system to another (see analogous node transfer command, TRANSFER). The MAT, TYPE, REAL, and ESYS attributes are based upon the keypoints in the pattern and not upon the current settings. Coordinate systems may be translated and rotated relative to each other. Initial pattern may be generated in any coordinate system. Coordinate values are interpreted in the active coordinate system and are transferred directly. Solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended.
