The Rect
command defines a region to be filled with material points, to assign element materials, to be defined as a hole, or for boundary conditions:
Rect (xmin),(xmax),(ymin),(ymax),<(arcStart)>,<(arcEnd)>
where the paraters are the xmin
, xmax
, ymin
, and ymax
, respectively, of the rectangle (or R
and Z
minima and maxima if axisymmetric) (in length units). If xmax<xmin
or ymax<ymin
, the will be automatically switched to define the rectangle.
Optional (arcStart)
and (arcEnd)
limit to arc of the rectangle (ccw from start to end in degrees with 0 degrees along the x axis, 0 ≤ (arcStart)
< 360, and (arcEnd)
> (arcStart)
).
