by the distance between points aand b. The line between points aand bdeﬁnes the position.

For every value of the -coordinate is deﬁned in a plane per pendicular to the plane deﬁned by

the points a,b,andcandperpendicular to the a xis of the toroidal system. lies in the plane

deﬁned by the points by a,b,andc.

Set TYPE=BLENDED to map via blended quadratics in an ABAQUS/Standard analysis.

Data lines for TYPE=RECTANGULAR,CYLINDRICAL, DIAMOND, SPHERICAL, or TOROIDAL:

First line:

1. X-coordinate of point a(see Figure 14.4–1).

2. Y-coordinate of point a.

3. Z-coordinate of point a.

4. X-coordinate of point b.

5. Y-coordinate of point b.

6. Z-coordinate of point b.

Second line:

1. X-coordinate of point c.

2. Y-coordinate of point c.

3. Z-coordinate of point c.

The following ﬁelds are needed only for TYPE=DIAMOND:

4. X-coordinate of point d.

5. Y-coordinate of point d.

6. Z-coordinate of point d.

If TYPE=RECTANGULAR is speciﬁedand only point ais given, th e coordinates of the nodes in

the set are simply shifted by ,,and .

Third line:

1. Scalefactor to be applied to the ﬁrst local coordinate before mapping. If the value entered is

zero or blank, a scale factor of 1.0 is assumed.

2. Scalefactor to be applied to the second local coordinate before mapping. If the value entered

is zero or blank, a scale factor of 1.0 is assumed.

3. Scalefactor to be applied to the third local coordinate before mapping. If the value entered is

zero or blank, a scale factor of 1.0 is assumed.

Data lines for TYPE=BLENDED:

First line:

1. Node number of the ﬁrst control node.

2. X-coordinate of the point to which this control node is to be mapped.
