Mapdl.cesgen(itime='', inc='', nset1='', nset2='', ninc='', **kwargs)

Generates a set of constraint equations from existing sets.

Mechanical APDL Command: CESGEN

Parameters:

itimestr

Do this generation operation a total of ITIME s, incrementing all nodes in the existing sets by INC each time after the first. ITIME must be >1 for generation to occur.

incstr

Do this generation operation a total of ITIME s, incrementing all nodes in the existing sets by INC each time after the first. ITIME must be >1 for generation to occur.

nset1str

Generate sets from sets beginning with NSET1 to NSET2 (defaults to NSET1 ) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NSET1 is negative, NSET2 and NINC are ignored and the last | NSET1 | sets (in sequence from maximum set number) are used as the sets to be repeated.

nset2str

Generate sets from sets beginning with NSET1 to NSET2 (defaults to NSET1 ) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NSET1 is negative, NSET2 and NINC are ignored and the last | NSET1 | sets (in sequence from maximum set number) are used as the sets to be repeated.

nincstr

Generate sets from sets beginning with NSET1 to NSET2 (defaults to NSET1 ) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NSET1 is negative, NSET2 and NINC are ignored and the last | NSET1 | sets (in sequence from maximum set number) are used as the sets to be repeated.

Notes

Generates additional sets of constraint equations (with same labels) from existing sets. Node numbers between sets may be uniformly incremented.
