GGU-SETTLE: "Generate nodes in array" menu item

The nodes can be defined on an array using this menu item: A dialog box opens for specifying the type of array:

• "Line"- along one or more lines,

• "Rectangle" - in one or more rectangles,

• "Quadrilateral" - in one or more quadrilaterals.

The procedure is similar for all three cases. Therefore, only the rectangles will be described.

"Rectangle"

Enter the corner points of the array and the number of subdivisions. If one of the node points thus generated were to lie within an existing mesh, node generation is aborted with an error message and no further nodes are generated.

If an array is defined using a line the coordinates of the two end points are entered and those of the four corners for a quadrilateral array.
