VTRAN, KCNTO, NV1, NV2, NINC, KINC, NOELEM, IMOVE
Transfers a pattern of volumes to another coordinate system.
KCNTOReference number of coordinate system where the pattern is
to be transferred. Transfer occurs from the active coordinate system. The
coordinate system type and parameters of KCNTO must
be the same as the active system.
NV1, NV2, NINCTransfer volumes from pattern beginning with NV1 to NV2 (defaults
to NV1) in steps of NINC (defaults
to 1). If NV1 = ALL, NV2 and NINC are
ignored and the pattern is all selected volumes [VSEL].
If NV1 = 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 NV1 (NV2 and NINC are
ignored).
KINCKeypoint increment between sets. If zero, the lowest available keypoint numbers are assigned [NUMSTR].
NOELEMSpecifies whether elements and nodes are also to be generated:
0 | — | Generate nodes and elements associated with the original volumes, if they exist. |
1 | — | Do not generate nodes and elements. |
IMOVESpecifies whether to redefine the existing volumes:
0 | — | Generate additional volumes. |
1 | — | Move original volumes to new position retaining
the same keypoint numbers ( |
Transfers a pattern of volumes (and their corresponding keypoints, lines, areas and mesh) from one coordinate system to another (see analogous node transfer command, TRANSFER). The MAT, TYPE, REAL, and ESYS attributes are based upon the volumes 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. However, solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended. Coordinate and slope values are interpreted in the active coordinate system and are transferred directly. Volumes are generated as described in the VGEN command.
