TCL Command SNODE

Syntax

SNODE arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4

Description

Global nodes are represented in the cross-section as structural units. They are addressed via numbers. Nodes are only relevant for the structural analysis.

Arguments

Minimum number: 3

arg1

Value	unit	Meaning
inode	INT	Number of nodes in the cross-section

arg2

Value	unit	Meaning
LSECT	KEYWORD	Node position defined by a point of intersection of two parametric lines
POINT	KEYWORD	Node position defined by a parametric point

arg3 - arg4 (arg2 = LSECT)

Value	unit	Meaning
line1[:i]	TEXT	Name of the 1st reference line of the point of intersection; the optional suffix ":1" or ":2" determines the number of the point of intersection if an arc is part of the intersection. As there can be up to two points of intersection, one of the two must be determined. This can be on either the first or second clipping line.
line2[:i]	TEXT	Name of the 2nd reference line of the point of intersection; the optional suffix ":1" or ":2" determines the number of the point of intersection if an arc is part of the intersection. As there can be up to two points of intersection, one of the two must be determined. This can be on either the first or second clipping line.

arg3 (arg2 = POINT)

Value	unit	Meaning
pname	TEXT	Name of the parametric point

Scopes

CSECTION/CUNITS

Examples

SNODE 4 LSECT "L21" "L14"

The structural unit 4 for the global node is created at the point of intersection of lines "L21" and "L14".
