kfill

Mapdl.kfill(np1='', np2='', nfill='', nstrt='', ninc='', space='', **kwargs)

Generates keypoints between two keypoints.

APDL Command: KFILL

Generates keypoints (in the active coordinate system) between two existing keypoints. The two keypoints may have been defined in any coordinate system. However, solid modeling in a toroidal coordinate system is not recommended. Any number of keypoints may be filled in and any keypoint numbering sequence may be assigned.

Parameters:

np1, np2

Beginning and ending keypoints for fill-in. NP1 defaults to next to last keypoint specified, NP2 defaults to last keypoint specified. If NP1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

nfill

Fill NFILL keypoints between NP1 and NP2 (defaults to |NP2-NP1|-1). NFILL must be positive.

nstrt

Keypoint number assigned to first filled-in keypoint (defaults to NP1 + NINC).

ninc

Add this increment to each of the remaining filled-in keypoint numbers (may be positive or negative). Defaults to (NP2-NP1)/(NFILL + 1), i.e., linear interpolation.

space

Spacing ratio. Ratio of last division size to first division size. If > 1.0, divisions increase. If < 1.0, divisions decrease. Ratio defaults to 1.0 (uniform spacing).
