Select
the node, element or mesh set to move (or copy) and define
the direction.
Direction
Select
the move/copy direction with respect to the GCS or the
direction of a vector that connects 2 arbitrary points.
For the 2 points vector function, select (deselect) a
particular coordinate axis and select only the directional
comp1nt of a vector defined by a start and end point.
Method
Move
the position of the selected element or copy and move
the element to a specified or arbitrary distance.
[Move]
Directly
input the move distance or using the 2 points vector function,
automatically calculate the actual move distance with
reference to the start and end points. Select the  button to check the automatically
calculated distance.
[Copy
(Uniform)]
Specify
the copy distance and number of copies. Entering a negative
value copies the object in the opposite direction to the
set direction.
[Copy
(Non-Uniform)]
The
length can be listed using a comma (,) or as number@length
for continuously repeated moves (copies).
For
example, entering 10@3 creates 10 elements with a move
length of 3 each and entering 2,3,4 creates 3 elements,
each with a move/copy length of 2,3 and 4.
Copy Prestress for 1D Elements
If
the anchor is modeled as a 1D element and the prestress
load is entered, the load information is also copied when
copying the anchor. |
Move/copy a node,
element or mesh set. It is useful for moving the element
position or copying the same element to a specified distance.
