Data Structure: Part_line |
|
Description |
Part lines and associated definition data |
Usage |
Part_line NUM=ival where ival is the data structure number |
Description |
Overview The Part_line structure stores the definition of a part line defined as line facets.
Notes •One Part_line data structure is defined for each line
|
 | Line_type Line type ("Standard", "Fault", "Discontinuity") |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Valid line types are: • "Standard" - Standard part line which if deformed stretches uniformly (Default) • "Fault" - Fault part line where the line represents a fault and the strech is concentrated near the fault node • "Discontinuity" - Discontinuity part line where the line represents a moving discontinuity (similar to a fault)
For the "Fault" and "Discontinuity" cases the Offset_location must also be specified.
notes •For "Fault" and "Discontinuity" types if line is deformed the stretch will occur nearby the offset location.
|
| Property_name Property set name |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Assigns a contact property set to be associated with the part line. If specified this property set will be used in preference to the contact node properties.
|
| Offset_location Line end corresponding to the displacement offset (discontinuity) |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Defines the line end corresponding to the displacement offset. Valid Offset_location values are: • "Start" - Offset location is the start of the line (first facet) (Default) • "End" - Offset location is the end of the line
|
| Facets List of facets defining the part line |
Usage |
|||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||
Description |
|||||||||||||||
List of facets defining the part line. The facet numbering should be ordered from the start of the line until the end of the line and with consistent orientation. The positive facet normal is defined by a left hand rule.
|
|||||||||||||||
| Number_divisions Number of divisions for part discretisation |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Defines the number of divisions (Default =0) for internal discretisation of the part line. Internal discretisation will only be performed if the sub-division flag is also specified on the Part_geometry_set data structure
|
| Fault_name Fault assignment name |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
May be defined if the line is part of a fault set (maximum 32 characters)
