Oval Command

The Oval command defines a region to be filled with material points, to assign element materials, to be defined as a hole, or for boundary conditions:

Oval (xmin),(xmax),(ymin),(ymax),<(arcStart)>,<(arcEnd)>

where the parameters are the xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax, respectively, of a rectangle enclosing the oval (or R and Z minima and maxima if axisymmetric) (in length units). If xmax<xmin or ymax<ymin, they will be automatically switched to define the oval.

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)).
