Syntax

sketch set automatic-zone keyword

Primary keywords:

direction    edge    size    total

Set automatic zoning of the sketch set.

direction keyword (3D only)

Control which part(s) of the extrusion are auto-zoned. If not specified, the last value specified is retained (the default is both). In FLAC2D automatic zoning is restricted to the construction setting; this keyword is not used.

both

Auto-zoning is applied to both the 2D construction data, and the 1D extrude segment data. This is the default.

construction

Auto-zoning is applied to the 2D construction data only.

extrusion

Auto-zoning is applied to the extrude segment data only.

edge f

Auto-zoning will attempt to keep the average length of a zone edge to the value f. If not supplied, the previous value will be used. The default value is 1.0.

size i

Auto-zoning will assign zone sizes so that there are approximately i zones across the largest model dimension. If not supplied, the previous value will be used. The default value is 100.

total i

Auto zoning will assign zone sizes so that the total number of zones created is approximately (but not more than) i.
