ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.cplgen

Mapdl.cplgen(nsetf='', lab1='', lab2='', lab3='', lab4='', lab5='', **kwargs)

Generates sets of coupled nodes from an existing set.

Mechanical APDL Command: CPLGEN

Parameters:

nsetfstr

Generate sets from existing set NSETF.

lab1str

Generate sets with these labels (see cp command for valid labels). Sets are numbered as the highest existing set number + 1.

lab2str

Generate sets with these labels (see cp command for valid labels). Sets are numbered as the highest existing set number + 1.

lab3str

Generate sets with these labels (see cp command for valid labels). Sets are numbered as the highest existing set number + 1.

lab4str

Generate sets with these labels (see cp command for valid labels). Sets are numbered as the highest existing set number + 1.

lab5str

Generate sets with these labels (see cp command for valid labels). Sets are numbered as the highest existing set number + 1.

Notes

Generates additional sets of coupled nodes (with different labels) from an existing set ( cp, cpngen ). The same node numbers are included in the generated sets. If all labels of nodes are to be coupled and the nodes are coincident, the nummrg command should be used to automatically redefine the node number (for efficiency).
