kmesh

Meshing.kmesh(np1='', np2='', ninc='', **kwargs)

Generates nodes and point elements at keypoints.

Mechanical APDL Command: KMESH

Parameters:

np1str

Mesh keypoints from NP1 to NP2 (defaults to NP1 ) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NP1 = ALL, NP2 and NINC are ignored and all selected keypoints ( ksel ) are meshed. If NP1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NP1.

np2str

Mesh keypoints from NP1 to NP2 (defaults to NP1 ) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NP1 = ALL, NP2 and NINC are ignored and all selected keypoints ( ksel ) are meshed. If NP1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NP1.

nincstr

Mesh keypoints from NP1 to NP2 (defaults to NP1 ) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NP1 = ALL, NP2 and NINC are ignored and all selected keypoints ( ksel ) are meshed. If NP1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NP1.

Notes

Missing nodes required for the generated elements are created and assigned the lowest available numbers.
