GEOMETRY BODY PRISM [bnam] snam_front snam_back set_sides [elt]

    

This command is used to define a prismatic body created when a 'region' is swept. The command is not intended for interactive use; it is provided solely to allow archiving and subsequent recreation of prismatic bodies and is documented here for completeness. Users wishing to create prismatic bodies should create a surface with the command GEOMETRY SURFACE REGION and then sweep the resulting surface using a pre-defined translation.


bnam = name of the body , used for later references.
snam_front = name of the surface created with GEOMETRY SURFACE REGION
that was swept to create the body.
snam_back = name of the surface opposite snam_front that was created with
a GEOMETRY SWEEP command.
set_sides = set containing the side surfaces created when snam_front was swept.
elt = element type on the body, either PE6 or PE15. Refer to command
MESHING TYPES for a detailed description.

Return Level: GEOMETRY BODY
