- Figure 1 – Scale Interface
Purpose:
This interface is used to scale selected nodes. The scaling direction and factor can be specified using various methods for maximum flexibility to suit different user needs. Optionally the scaling can be performed on multiple copies of the selected elements. The Tran option is only available when the Copy Element option is activated. This option automatically deselects the original nodes and selects the copied nodes (ready to perform the next operation with the copied set).
Controls:
- Scale Dir: Select direction of scaling
- Scale Factor: Enter scale factor
Pick node as origin – Pick a node as the origin of scaling
- Node ID: Enter a node ID as the origin of scaling (Hit enter to accept)
- XYZ: Enter x, y, z coordinates as the origin of scaling
- Node1 – Enter first node ID for N1-N2 and N1-N2-N3 planes
Node2 – Enter second node ID for N1-N2 and N1-N2-N3 planes- Node3 – Enter third node ID for N1-N2 and N1-N2-N3 planes
- CpEl – Copy elements while translating the model
- CpNd – Copy nodes only while translating the model
- Tran – Transfer selection to newly copied elements
- No. of Copies – Enter no. of copies to be created
- PickPart – Pick target part from drawing area
- Starting EID: Enter starting element ID
- Starting NID: Enter starting node ID
Scale the model down with selected nodes
Scale the model up with selected nodes
Accept the scale operation
Reject the scale operation
