Builds a brick mesh and generates a nearest neighbor connectivity matrix. This command is similar to the rz command format except here we have symmetry flags to input. A second format specifies that a mesh be created and connected.

Format

rzbrick / geom / ni, nj, nk / xmin, ymin, zmin / xmax, ymax, zmax / iiz, ijz, ikz / [iirat, ijrat, ikrat / xrz, yrz, zrz / isym, jsym, ksym]

rzbrick / geom / ni, nj, nk / pset, get, name / connect

rzbrick / interp / relative / 0 / pset, get, p1 /, p2 / cmo_new [ / pset, get, pset_path / pset, get, pset_rotation pset, get

rzbrick Parameters

Parameters	Type/Value	Description/Default
geom	xyz	Specifies Cartesian coordinates.
	rtz	Specifies cylindrical coordinates.
	rtp	Specifies spherical coordinates.
ni, nj, nk	integers	Number of points to be created in each direction.
xmin, ymin, zmin	reals	Minimums for coordinates.
xmax, ymax, zmax	reals	Maximums for coordinates.
iiz, ijz, ikz	0, 0, 0	mins and maxs are used as cell centers.
	1, 1, 1	mins and maxs are used as cell vertices.
iirat, ijrat, ikrat		Ratio zoning switches.
	0	off
	1	on
xrz, yrz, zrz		Ratio zoning value - distance is multiplied by the value for each subsequent point.
isym, jsym, ksym		Symmetry flags.
pset, get name		Starting point
connect	connect	Use this option with quadxyz to connect logically rectangular grids.

Example

rzbrick / xyz / 3, 2, 3 / 0., 0., 0. / 1., 1. ,1. / 1, 1 ,1

creates a hex grid 2x1x2 cells in the unit cube

quadxyz / 5, 7, 5 / 0., 0., 0. / 1., 0. ,0. / 1.5, 0.5, 2.0 / .5, .2, 2.5 / -1., 1.5, 0. / 2. 0, 0., 0.0 / 2.1, 1.9, 2.4 / -0.2, 1.8, 2.3

setpts

rzbrick / xyz / 5, 7, 5 / 1 ,0, 0 / connect

creates a hex grid inside the hexahedral specified by the 8 corners passed to quadxyz
