AL, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10
Generates an area bounded by previously defined lines.
L1,L2,L3, . . . ,L10List of lines defining area. The minimum number of lines is 3. The positive normal of the area is controlled by the direction of
L1using the right-hand rule. A negative value ofL1reverses the normal direction. IfL1= ALL, use all selected lines withL2defining the normal (L3toL10are ignored andL2defaults to the lowest numbered selected line). IfL1= P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining arguments are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted forL1.
Notes
Lines may be input (once each) in any order and must form a simply connected closed curve. If the area is defined with more than four lines, the lines must also lie in the same plane or on a constant coordinate value in the active coordinate system (such as a plane or a cylinder).
Note: Solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended. Areas may be redefined only if not yet attached to a volume.
This command is valid in any processor.
