GEOMETRY BODY SETS senam1 senam2 [divs]

  This command is used to define a number of bodies from two sets of surfaces.


senam1 = name of the first set of surfaces.
senam2 = name of the second set of surfaces.
divs = number of divisions on lines to be created between the two sets

Given two sets of topologically equivalent surfaces FEMGEN will create a number of bodies between the two sets. The surfaces do not need to be ordered in the sets and a proximity algorithm is used to locate matching surfaces.

Straight lines connecting corresponding corners of corresponding surfaces in the two sets will be generated. Also, depending on whether corresponding surfaces in the two sets are 3 or 4 sided, 3 or 4 surfaces connecting corresponding sides of the surfaces will be generated.

The proximity algorithm will fail if the two sets of surfaces are severely sheared relative to one another. Under such circumstances the algorithm will incorrectly match one or more of the surface pairs and will terminate with an error message.

Examples:

1.
GEOMETRY BODY SETS SE01 SE02 3

Create a number of bodies between sets SE01 and SE02 which are assumed to contain topologically identical sets of surfaces.
