TCL Command POINT

Syntax

POINT arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5

Description

Enter a point.

Arguments

Minimum number: 3

arg1

Value	unit	Meaning
pname	TEXT	Point name

arg2

Value	unit	Meaning
dt	TEMP	Temperature difference (Scope TEMPERATURE only)
dtvar	TEXT	Temperature difference by reference to a variable of type TEMP (TEMPERATURE scope only)
sl	DOUBLE	Slenderness (scope STRESSRESULTS only)
slvar	TEXT	Slenderness by reference to a variable of type NONE (STRESSRESULTS scope only)
LSECT	KEYWORD	Boundary point defined by a point of intersection of two parametric lines
POINT	KEYWORD	Boundary point defined by a parametric point

arg3 (arg2 != LSECT and arg2 != POINT)

arg4 - arg5 (arg3 = 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.

arg4 (arg3 = POINT)

Value	unit	Meaning
pname	TEXT	Name of the parametric point

arg3 - arg4 (arg2 = LSECT)

Value	unit	Meaning
line1	TEXT	Name of the 1st reference line of the point of intersection
line2	TEXT	Name of the 2nd reference line of the point of intersection

arg3 (arg2 = POINT)

Value	unit	Meaning
pname	TEXT	Name of the parametric point

Scopes

TEMPERATURE, STRESSRESULTS, PLACEPYTHON, PLACEMACRO

Examples

POINT "TP2" 5.000 LSECT "L7" "Yloc"

Definition of temperature point "TP2" with the value 5° at the point of intersection of lines "L7" and "Yloc".

POINT "SP1" LSECT "L7" "Yloc"

Definition of tension point "SP1" at the point of intersection of lines "L7" and "Yloc” without optionally adding the slenderness.
