*ADJUST

Adjust user-specified nodal coordinates to lie on a given surface or to make adjustments based on a user-specified distribution.

This option is used to adjust user-specified nodal coordinates so that the nodes lie on a given surface. It is also used to make adjustments based on a user-defined distribution.

Adjusting nodes so that the nodes lie on a given surface

Required parameters

NODE SET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set containing the nodes to be adjusted.

SURFACE

Set this parameter equal to the name of surface to which the nodes are to be adjusted.

Optional parameters

ORIENTATION

Set this parameter equal to the name of an orientation definition (see Orientations) that defines the direction for adjusting nodes. If this parameter is omitted, the nodes are adjusted normal to the specified surface. Only rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical orientation definitions are supported. Additional rotations defined as part of the orientation definition are ignored.

There are no data lines associated with this option.

DISTRIBUTION

Set this parameter to a distribution name to specify nodes and adjustments (displacements) to the position of these nodes.

NODE SET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set containing the nodes to be adjusted.
