help required regarding patch rect command

Post by kartheek »

Hi,

The tcl editor does not produce help for patch rect command. It only produce help for quad and circ commands. Moreover it consider only quad and circ commands (I mean they appear in blue colour) and not rect command. But in example3.1 patch rect command is used and one can see the output too. And even in the OpenSees navigator we dont have patch rect. So how should we change patch rect to patch quad. Or someone atleast help me in knowing the representation of each arguement in the command.

Hoping a fast reply.

Hi,

Even though tcl editor does not highlight "rect" in blue, it still seems to work. The syntax is similar to "quad" with the only difference that instead of specifying co-ordinates of I,J,K,&L, we only specify co-ordinates of I and K:

patch rect $matTag $numSubdivIJ $numSubdivJK $yI $zI $yK $zK
