Generates an area using the shape of an existing area.
APDL Command: ASUB

- na1
Existing area number whose shape is to be used. If P1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining arguments are ignored (valid only in the GUI).
- p1
Keypoint defining starting corner of area.
- p2
Keypoint defining second corner of area.
- p3
Keypoint defining third corner of area.

Notes
The new area will overlay the old area. Often used when the area to be subdivided consists of a complex shape that was not generated in a single coordinate system. Keypoints and any corresponding lines must lie on the existing area. Missing lines are generated to lie on the given area. The active coordinate system is ignored.
