Keypoints

These PREP7 commands are used to create, modify, list, etc., keypoints.

Mapdl.k([npt, x, y, z])	Define a keypoint.
Mapdl.kbetw([kp1, kp2, kpnew, type_, value])	Creates a keypoint between two existing keypoints.
Mapdl.kcenter([type_, val1, val2, val3, ...])	Creates a keypoint at the center of a circular arc defined by three locations.
Mapdl.kdele([np1, np2, ninc])	Deletes unmeshed keypoints.
Mapdl.kdist([kp1, kp2])	Calculates and lists the distance between two keypoints.
Mapdl.kfill([np1, np2, nfill, nstrt, ninc, ...])	Generates keypoints between two keypoints.
Mapdl.kgen([itime, np1, np2, ninc, dx, dy, ...])	Generates additional keypoints from a pattern of keypoints.
Mapdl.kl([nl1, ratio, nk1])	Generates a keypoint at a specified location on an existing line.
Mapdl.klist([np1, np2, ninc, lab])	Lists the defined keypoints or hard points.
Mapdl.kmodif([npt, x, y, z])	Modifies an existing keypoint.
Mapdl.kmove([npt, kc1, x1, y1, z1, kc2, x2, ...])	Calculates and moves a keypoint to an intersection.
Mapdl.knode([npt, node])	Defines a keypoint at an existing node location.
Mapdl.kpscale([np1, np2, ninc, rx, ry, rz, ...])	Generates a scaled set of (meshed) keypoints from a pattern of
Mapdl.kscale([kinc, np1, np2, ninc, rx, ry, rz])	Generates a scaled pattern of keypoints from a given keypoint pattern.
Mapdl.ksum(**kwargs)	Calculates and prints geometry statistics of the selected keypoints.
Mapdl.ksymm([ncomp, np1, np2, ninc, kinc, ...])	Generates a reflected set of keypoints.
Mapdl.ktran([kcnto, np1, np2, ninc, kinc, ...])	Transfers a pattern of keypoints to another coordinate system.
Mapdl.source([x, y, z])	Defines a default location for undefined nodes or keypoints.
