Syntax

TPOINT arg1 arg2 .... arg14

Description

The tendon point is created or properties are assigned to the point.

Arguments to create a point

Minimum quantity: 7

arg1

Value

Dimension

Meaning

itp

INT

Name of the tendon point

arg2

Value

Dimension

Meaning

CGREF

KEYWORD

The following are the inputs to the reference point as the next arguments

CGRID

KEYWORD

The following are the inputs to the grid point as the next arguments

CALC

KEYWORD

The point is calculated, a reference point is not to be specified. The corresponding inputs remain empty.

arg3

Value

Dimension

Meaning

rname

TEXT

Station-defined reference member

arg4

Value

Dimension

Meaning

sname

TEXT

Station name at reference member

arg5

Value

Dimension

Meaning

BACK

KEYWORD

Backside of the station

FRONT

KEYWORD

Front side of station

arg6

Value

Dimension

Meaning

pname

TEXT

Name of the cross section point (arg2 = CGREF) or name of the grid point (arg2 = CGRID). A grid point is formed from the grid name and the grid positions in 2 directions, so the point "G1(4:6)" is the matrix position (4:6) in grid "G1".

arg7

Value

Dimension

Meaning

INT

KEYWORD

Internal piece of the tendon starts in the point and ends in the next point.

INTU

KEYWORD

Internal piece of the tendon starts in the point and ends in the next point. The structural unit follows as the next argument. The specification of the structural unit in which the tendon piece is located makes the assignment unambiguous.

EXT

KEYWORD

External piece of the tendon starts in the point and ends in the next point. This is followed by the number assigned to the external tendon element in the analysis model.

arg8 (arg7 = INTU)

Value

Dimension

Meaning

unit

INT

Number of structural unit

arg8 (arg7 = EXT)

Value

Dimension

Meaning

elem

INT

Element number int the analysis model

Arguments for curve definition of a point

Minimum quantity: 2

arg1

Value

Dimension

Meaning

itp

INT

Name of the existing tendon point

arg2

Value

Dimension

Meaning

SPLINE

KEYWORD

Cubic spline

STRAIGHT

KEYWORD

Straight

ARCUB

KEYWORD

Arc, plane through vector from point to following point and 1st vector at grid/cross-section at current point

ARCVB

KEYWORD

Arc, plane through vector from point to following point and 2nd vector at grid/cross-section at current point

ARCUE

KEYWORD

Arc, plane through vector from point to following point and 1st vector at grid/cross-section at following point

ARCVE

KEYWORD

Arc, plane through vector from point to following point and 2nd vector at grid/cross-section at following point

TANGENTS

KEYWORD

Tangent intersection; predecessor and successor are of type STRAIGHT or TANGENTS

arg3, arg4, … The following are arguments to the constraints, always alternating keyword and value

Value

TAN1

KEYWORD

Constraint at tangent of 1st direction (1st Vector in grid or horizontal direction in cross-section)

a1

ANGLED

Specified angle

TAN2

KEYWORD

Constraint at tangent of 2nd direction (2nd vector in grid or vertical direction in cross-section)

a2

ANGLED

Specified angle

BEND

KEYWORD

Constraint at bending

b

1/LSTRUCTD

Specified bend

BRAD

KEYWORD

Constraint at radius

r

LSTRUCTD

Specified radius

XAXTAN3D

KEYWORD

Longitudinal distance in the direction from point to the following point

xecc

LSTRUCTD

Signed longitudinal distance

XAXTANP

KEYWORD

Longitudinal distance in plan in the direction from point to the following point

xecc

LSTRUCTD

Signed longitudinal distance

TENDON/POINTS

Examples

TPOINT 1 CGRID "MG-Box" s001 FRONT "Grid2(1:2)" INT

Tendon point 1 is created at grid point "Grid2(1:2)" at front side of station s001 . The piece of tendon that starts at this point is internal.

#TPOINT 2 CALC "" "" FRONT "" INT

Tendon point 2 is automatically calculated, because the tendon is defined to be straight at its beginning. The piece of tendon that starts at this point is internal.

TPOINT 1 SPLINE POS1 0.000 POS2 0.000

A SPLINE type curve starts at tendon point 1, with constraints in Y and Z at the point.
