Generates a scaled set of nodes from a pattern of nodes.
INC
Do this scaling operation one time, incrementing all nodes in the given pattern by
INC
. IfINC
= 0, nodes will be redefined at the scaled locations.NODE1
,NODE2
,NINC
Scale nodes from pattern of nodes beginning with
NODE1
toNODE2
(defaults toNODE1
) in steps ofNINC
(defaults to 1). IfNODE1
= ALL,NODE2
andNINC
are ignored and pattern is all selected nodes (NSEL). IfNODE1
= P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted forNODE1
(NODE2
andNINC
are ignored).RX
,RY
,RZ
Scale factor ratios. Scaling is relative to the origin of the active coordinate system (RR, Rθ, RZ for cylindrical, RR, Rθ, RΦ for spherical or toroidal). If absolute value of ratio > 1.0, pattern is enlarged. If < 1.0, pattern is reduced. Ratios default to 1.0 (each).
Notes
Generates a scaled pattern of nodes from a given node pattern. Scaling is done in the active coordinate system. Nodes in the pattern may have been generated in any coordinate system.
This command is also valid in the /MAP processor.
