spline#
- Mapdl.spline(p1='', p2='', p3='', p4='', p5='', p6='', xv1='', yv1='', zv1='', xv6='', yv6='', zv6='', **kwargs)#
Generate a segmented spline through a series of keypoints.
APDL Command: SPLINE
The output from this command is a series of connected lines (one line between each pair of keypoints) that together form a spline. Note that solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended.
- Parameters:
- p1, p2, p3, … , p6
Keypoints through which the spline is fit. At least two must be defined.
- Returns:
list
List of line numbers generated.
- Return type:
Examples
Create a spline with 5 keypoints.
>>> k0 = mapdl.k('', 0, 0, 0) >>> k1 = mapdl.k('', 0.2, 0.2, 0) >>> k2 = mapdl.k('', 0.4, 0.3, 0) >>> k3 = mapdl.k('', 0.6, 0.5, 0) >>> k4 = mapdl.k('', 0.8, 0.3, 0) >>> lines = mapdl.spline(k0, k1, k2, k3, k4) >>> lines [1, 2, 3, 4]
