attach.leader

Syntax

p = attach.leader(a<,i>)

Note

• In the description below, the following correspondence is assumed between 3D and 2D analysis:

  • There is no 2D equivalence for 3D zone edges

  • 3D zone faces (surfaces) <-> 2D zone edges (lines)

Returns a pointer to the attachment leader of the specified attach pointer.

For FLAC2D:

For type 1 attachments (gridpoint to gridpoint), returns a pointer to the leader gridpoint. Parameter i is not required.

For type 2 attachments (gridpoint to face), returns a pointer to the zone corresponding to the attach condition.

For FLAC3D:

For type 1 attachments (gridpoint to gridpoint), returns a pointer to the leader gridpoint. Parameter i is not required.

For type 2 attachments (gridpoint to edge) returns a pointer to leader gridpoint 1 or leader gridpoint 2, depending on whether i is 1 or 2.

For type 3 attachments (gridpoint to face), returns a pointer to the zone corresponding to the attach condition.

Returns:

p - either a gridpoint pointer or a zone pointer depending on the attachment type

Arguments:

a - attach pointer

i - integer, if not given it is assumed to be 1

Deprecated function

In previous FLAC versions, this function was called attach.master, which is now deprecated.
