Description: Element and grid point set generation.
Format:
SETGENERATE, sid, stype, etype, method, value, id, threshold
Example:
SETGENERATE, 3, ELEM, QUAD, MID, 105
| Option | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sid | Generated set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| stype | Target output set type, one of the following character variables: GRID or ELEM. | Character | Required |
| etype | Element type to be searched for within element identification number range, one of the following character variables: ELAS, WELD, PIPE, CABLE, GAP, BEAM, BAR, ROD, QUAD, TRI, SHEAR, TET, PENT, PYR, HEX, SHELL, SOLID, or ALL. | Character or blank | ALL |
| method | The search method used, one of the following character variables: RCN, PID, MID, R, T, P, X, Y, Z, or ALL. | Character | ALL |
| value | Depending on the character variable supplied for method, this is either an integer property or material identification number (PID or MID), a real coordinate component (R, T, P, X, Y, or Z), an integer element results column number (RCN), or blank (method = ALL). | Integer > 0 or real | See Remark 1 |
| id | Depending on the character variable supplied for method, this is either a coordinate system identification number (R, T, P, X, Y, or Z) or a subcase identification number. | Integer > 0 or blank | 0; See Remark 2 |
| threshold | The element result threshold value corresponding to the specified element results column number. Elements that have a result value greater than this value will be included in the generated set. | Real or blank | 0.0; See Remark 2 |
