This command is deprecrated, see CREATEPTS.
Builds a brick mesh and generates a nearest neighbor connectivity matrix. This command is similar to the rz command format except here we have symmetry flags to input. A second format specifies that a mesh be created and connected.
Use the connect option with quadxyz to connect logically rectangular grids.
rzbrick /xyz rtz rtp/ni,nj,nk/xmin,ymin,zmin/xmax,ymax,zmax/ &
iiz,ijz,ikz/[iirat,ijrat,ikrat/xrz,yrz,zrz/isym,jsym,ksym]
rzbrick /xyz rtz rtp/ni,nj,nk/pset,get,pset_name/connect/
xyz specifies Cartesian coordinates (default).
rtz specifies cylindrical coordinates.
rtp specifies spherical coordinates.
ni,nj,nk are the number of points to be created in each direction.
xmin,ymin,zmin are the minimums for coordinates.
xmax,ymax,zmax are the maximums for coordinates.
iiz,ijz,ikz 0 or 1 switches:
if = 0 then mins and maxs are used as cell centers
if = 1 then mins and maxs are used as cell vertices
iirat,ijrat,ikrat ratio zoning switches 0=off (default), 1=on
xrz,yrz,zrz ratio zoning value - distance is multiplied by this value for each subsequent point.
pset,get,pset_name point set selection given by name
isym,jsym,ksym symmetry flags - not documented
Warning: This command does not create a 2D grid, it has memory errors:
rzbrick/xyz/5,10,1/0. 0. 0./10. 20. 0. /1,1,1
for 2D this will work:
