lfillt#
- Mapdl.lfillt(nl1='', nl2='', rad='', pcent='', **kwargs)#
Generate a fillet line between two intersecting lines.
APDL Command: LFILLT
Generates a fillet line between two intersecting lines NL1 (P1-PINT) and NL2 (P2-PINT). Three keypoints may be generated, two at the fillet tangent points (PTAN1 and PTAN2) and one (optional) at the fillet arc center (PCENT). Line P1-PINT becomes P1-PTAN1, P2-PINT becomes P2-PTAN2, and new arc line PTAN1-PTAN2 is generated. Generated keypoint and line numbers are automatically assigned (beginning with the lowest available values [NUMSTR]). Line divisions are set to zero (use LESIZE, etc. to modify).
- Parameters:
- nl1
Number of the first intersecting line.
- nl2
Number of the second intersecting line.
- rad
Radius of fillet to be generated. Radius should be less than the lengths of the two lines specified with NL1 and NL2.
- pcent
Number to be assigned to generated keypoint at fillet arc center. If zero (or blank), no keypoint is generated.
- Returns:
int
Line number of the generated line.
- Return type:
Examples
Create two intersecting lines at a right angle and add a fillet between them.
