quadxyz

 

Define an arbitrary, logical hexahedron of points in 3D(xyz) space.

Format

quadxyz / nx, ny, nz / x1, y1, z1 / x2, y2, z2 / x3, y3, z3 / x4, y4, z4 / x5, y5, z5 / x6, y6, z6 / x7, y7, z7 / x8, y8, z8

quadxyz Parameters

Parameters

Type/Value

Description/Default

nx

integer

Specifies the number of points between the 1st and 2nd point, the x points.

ny

integer

Specifies the number of points between the 1st and 4th point, the y points.

nz

integer

Specifies the number of points between the 1st and 5th point, the z points.

x1, y1, z1 thru

x8, y8, z8

reals

The eight corners of the hex are listed as two sets of quads, each set of four nodes is given in counter clockwise order . Points 1 to 4 specify one face of the hex, points 5 to 8 the corresponding face opposite (point 5 is logically behind point 1, point 6 behind point 2 and so on.)
