Notes

Warning

This function contains specificities regarding the argument definitions. Please refer to the command documentation for further explanations.

Creates a polygonal area or a prism volume using the vertices as input. This is a command generated by the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and appears in the log file ( Jobname.LOG ) if graphical picking is used.

This command is not intended to be typed in directly in a Mechanical APDL session (although it can be included in an input file for batch input or for use with input ).

For polygons, pri2 appears in the log file as pri2, P51X,0.0,0.0, preceded by fitem commands defining the vertices (in global Cartesian coordinates).

For prisms, pri2 appears in the log file as pri2, P51X, preceded by fitem commands defining the vertices and the Z-end of the prism.

See rpoly, poly, rprism, prism, and rpr4 for other ways to create polygons and prisms.
