lextnd#
- Mapdl.lextnd(nl1='', nk1='', dist='', keep='', **kwargs)#
Extends a line at one end by using its slope.
APDL Command: LEXTND
Extends a line at one end by using its slope. Lines may be redefined only if not yet attached to an area. Line divisions are set to zero (use LESIZE, etc. to modify). Note that solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended.
- Parameters:
- nl1
Number of the line to be extended.
- nk1
Number of keypoint at the end of line NL1 to be extended.
- dist
Distance that the line will be extended.
- keep
Specifies whether to keep the input entities:
0 - Modify old line to use new keypoints and slopes.
- 1 - Do not modify old line. New line will overlay old
line and have unique keypoints.
- Returns:
int
Line number of the generated line.
- Return type:
Examples
Create a circular arc and extend it at one of its keypoints
>>> k0 = mapdl.k("", 0, 0, 0) >>> k1 = mapdl.k("", 0, 0, 1) >>> carcs = mapdl.circle(k0, 1, k1, arc=90) >>> lnum = mapdl.lextnd(carcs[0], 3, 1) >>> lnum 1
