GEOMETRY LINE CURVE [lnam] pnam1 pnam2 shape [divn] [parm1 [parm2][parm3]]

      


lnam = name of the line to be created.
pnam1 = start point of line.
pnam2 = end point of line.
shape = Underlying FEMGEN shape for the NURB curve.
divn = Number of divisions on the line. If not specified the default is used.
parm1 = Parametric position of the start point of the line on the NURB curve.
parm2 = Parametric position of the end point of the line on the NURB curve.
parm3 = Value used (when there are two possible parts of an curve) to indicate
which part of the curve is to be used.

This command allows a line to be defined using all or part of a NURB curve as its underlying shape. This command is primarily provided to support the archiving of entities created via the CAD interfaces.

If the parametric positions of the start and end points are not given then FEMGEN  will calculate the values.
