ltan#
- Mapdl.ltan(nl1='', p3='', xv3='', yv3='', zv3='', **kwargs)#
Generate a line at the end of, and tangent to, an existing line.
APDL Command: LTAN
Generates a line (P2-P3) tangent at end point (P2) of line NL1 (P1-P2).
- Parameters:
- nl1
Number of the line the generated line is tangent to. If negative, assume P1 (see below), instead of P2, is the second keypoint of line NL1.
- p3
Keypoint at which generated line must end.
- Returns:
int
Line number of the line generated.
- Return type:
Examples
Create a circular arc and generate a tangent spline at the end of it directed to a new keypoint.
>>> k0 = mapdl.k("", 0, 0, 0) >>> k1 = mapdl.k("", 0, 0, 1) >>> k2 = mapdl.k("", -1, 1.5, 0) >>> carc = mapdl.circle(k0, 1, k1, arc=90) >>> lnum = mapdl.ltan(carc[0], k2) >>> lnum 2
