Operator SYME DATE 94/01/10 Opérateur SYMETRIE See also :AFFI TOUR ------------------ HOMO The functions of this operator vary with the data. ----------------- | 1st function | ----------------- The SYME operator constructs the object stemming from the symmetry of the GEO2 object with respect to a point, a straight line or a plane. GEO1 = GEO2 SYME |'POINT' POIN1 ; |'DROIT' POIN1 POIN2 ; |'PLAN' POIN1 POIN2 POIN3 ; Contents : __________ GEO2 : object to be symmetrical (POINT or MAILLAGE type) 'POINT' : key word referring to a symmetry with respect to a point, followed by : POIN1 : point of symmetry (POINT type) 'DROIT' : key word referring to a symmetry with respect to a straight line, followed by : POIN1 | : two points defining a straight line (POINT type) POIN2 | 'PLAN' : key word referring to a symmetry with respect to a plane, followed by : POIN1 | : three points defining a plane (POINT type) POIN2 | POIN3 | GEO1 : symmetrical object (POINT or MAILLAGE type) Note : _______ OBJET1 OBJET2 ... OBJETn SYME | POINT POIN1 ; | DROIT POIN1 POIN2 ; | PLAN POIN1 POIN2 POIN3 ; This operation is carried out simultaneously on n objects and has n results. NC1 NC2 NC3 NC4 = C1 C2 C3 C4 SYME POIN1 (10 0) ; You cannot apply this rule to the POINT type objects whose symmetry must be written separately for each point. ---------------- | 2nd function | ---------------- The SYME operator constructs the object stemming from the symmetry of the CHP2 object (a scalar field) with respect to a point, a straight line or a plane.The operation is carried out simultaneously on the mesh object (support of the field) GEO2 . GEO1 CHP1 = GEO2 CHP2 SYME |'POINT' POIN1 ; |'DROIT' POIN1 POIN2 ; |'PLAN' POIN1 POIN2 POIN3 ; Contents : __________ GEO2 : mesh object (support of the field) to be symmetrical (MAILLAGE type) CHP2 : scalar field objet to be symmetrical (CHPOINT type) 'POINT' : key word referring to a symmetry with respect to a point, followed by : POIN1 : point of symmetry (POINT type) 'DROIT' : key word referring to a symmetry with respect to a straight line, followed by : POIN1 | : two points defining a straight line (POINT type) POIN2 | 'PLAN' : key word referring to a symmetry with respect to a plane, followed by : POIN1 | : three points defining a plane (POINT type) POIN2 | POIN3 | GEO1 : symmetrical mesh object (support of the field) ( MAILLAGE type) CHP1 : symmetrical scalar field (CHPOINT type)
