TypeModel data
LevelPartPart instance
Abaqus/CAENot applicable; elements are generated when you
mesh
the model.
Optional parameters
- ALL NODES
-
Include this parameter to increment the node numbers of rigid body reference
nodes for IRS-type and drag chain elements and nodes used to define the
direction of the first cross-section axis for beams in space. By default, these
node numbers will not be incremented.
- ELSET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set to which the elements, including the main
element, will be assigned.
Data lines to
generate elements incrementally
- First line
Main element number.
Number of elements to be defined in the first row generated, including the main
element.
-
Increment in node numbers of corresponding nodes from element to element in
the row. The default is 1.
-
Increment in element numbers in the row. The default is 1.
- If necessary, copy this newly created main row to define a layer of
elements.
Number of rows to be defined, including the main row. The default is 1.
-
Increment in node numbers of corresponding nodes from row to row.
-
Increment in element numbers of corresponding elements from row to row.
- If necessary, copy this newly created main layer to define a block of
elements.
Number of layers to be defined, including the main layer. The default is 1.
-
Increment in node numbers of corresponding nodes from layer to layer.
-
Increment in element numbers of corresponding elements from layer to layer.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Each line will
generate N1 × N2 ×
N3 elements, where N1 is
the number of elements in a row, N2 is the number of
rows in a layer, and N3 is the number of
layers.
