TCL Command SYSTEM

Syntax

SYSTEM arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5 arg6

Description

Definition of the connector for inserting an external border line (EXTREF).

Arguments

Minimum quantity: 1

arg1

Value	Dimension	Meaning
name	TEXT	Name of the boundary line in the host cross section where the external boundary line should be positioned (arg2 = POS, CENTER, NEG) or name of a parametric line in the host cross section.

arg2

Value	Dimension	Meaning
POS	KEYWORD	Transverse position at the boundary line (arg1), positive thickness direction
CENTER	KEYWORD	Transverse position at the boundary line (arg1), center line
NEG	KEYWORD	Transverse position at the boundary line (arg1), negative thickness direction
LINE	KEYWORD	Using a parametric line instead of a boundary line to position the external boundary

arg3

Value	Dimension	Meaning
line	TEXT	Name of the parametric line in the host cross section where the external boundary is to be positioned (by intersecting the boundary)

arg4

Value	Dimension	Meaning
isect	INT	The position in the target cross section is defined by the intersection between the boundary line (arg1) and the parametric line (arg3). There can be several intersection points. An intersection is selected by the number.

arg5

Value	Dimension	Meaning
POS	KEYWORD	Direction of the distance in positive normal direction of the parametric line (arg3)
NEG	KEYWORD	Direction of the distance in negative normal direction of the parametric line (arg3)

arg6

Value	Dimension	Meaning
POS	KEYWORD	Alignment of the inserted boundary line in the positive normal direction of the connecting line (arg1).
NEG	KEYWORD	Alignment of the inserted boundary line in the negative normal direction of the connecting line (arg1).

Scopes

BOUNDARIES/BOUNDARY

Examples

SYSTEM "Boundary1" CENTER "L28" 2 POS NEG

The external border line is positioned at the boundary line "Boundary1” of the target cross section. The center line of "Boundary1” is used for this purpose. The intersection point 2 of the parametric line "L28” is used as the position. The direction for the distance to "L28” is applied in mathematically positive normal direction of "L28”. The boundary line is applied to the mathematically negative side of the boundary line "Boundary1”.
