Mapdl.wpave(x1='', y1='', z1='', x2='', y2='', z2='', x3='', y3='', z3='', **kwargs)#

Moves the working plane origin to the average of specified points.

Mechanical APDL Command: WPAVE

Parameters:

x1str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the first point. If X1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

y1str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the first point. If X1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

z1str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the first point. If X1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

x2str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the second point.

y2str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the second point.

z2str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the second point.

x3str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the third point.

y3str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the third point.

z3str

Coordinates (in the active coordinate system) of the third point.

Notes

Moves the origin of the working plane to the average of the specified points. A point is considered specified only if at least one of its coordinates is non-blank, and at least one point (1, 2, or 3) must be specified. Blank coordinates of a specified point are assumed to be zero. Averaging is based on the active coordinate system.

This command is valid in any processor.
