sketch joint-set create command

Syntax

sketch joint-set create keyword ...

Primary keywords:

origin    angle    spacing    gap    trace    group    minimum-length    keep-domain

A joint set is generated within the domain with characteristics defined by the following keywords

origin v1

Set the origin, or starting point, of the joint set. The first fracture generated will pass through this point.

angle f1 <f2 >

Angle of joint track to the global v-axis (default = 0.0)

spacing f1 <f2 >

Spacing normal to joint tracks (default = 1.0)

gap f1 <f2 >

Gap length between joint segments (default = 0.0). If defined, the joints are discontinuous.

trace f1 <f2 >

Trace length of joint segment (default = 0.0). If defined, the joints are discontinuous.

For each pair of values, the first entry should be the mean value and the second should be the standard deviation from the mean (for uniform probability distribution).

group s1 <slot s2 >

Assign the group name s1 in slot s2 (if supplied) to the joint-set. If the slot keyword is omitted, the slot is set the slot named Default.

minimum-length f

Joint-sets shorter than this length will not be created. By default, the minimun-length is set to 0.1.

keep-domain b

If b = bTrue, the domain is not clear. By default, the domain is deleted after creating the joint-set.
