CONSTRUCT SET CLOSE [Set_name]

          

This command closes a set. The user may have up to ten sets open simultaneously.

If a set name is specified then the specified set will be closed, otherwise the last opened set will be closed.

Completion of a set in FEMGEN

The checks that are performed when a set is closed will depend on how the set was first opened.

Sets that have been created with the default options (or the keyword COMPLETE) will be automatically completed, so that all parts used in the definition of higher order parts will be added to the set. For example, if a line `L1' (which has end points `P1' and `P2') had been appended to the set, then the completion process will ensure that points `P1' and `P2' are added to the set if they are not already included in the set. Thus it is possible that the completion process will append to the set parts that have been previously explicitly removed because these parts are referenced by other parts higher up the geometry hierarchy viz: point, line, surface and body.

Sets that have been initially opened with the LIST or LOOP keywords will be checked and modified so that they contain only parts of the given type and will also be checked for validity. The parts in these sets do not need to be given in topological order.

Sets that have been initially opened with the INCOMPLETE keyword are not completed or checked.
