Macro to use node ids in place of x, y, z component and normal components.

Sathish_21542

*createplane plane id normal x normal y normal z base x base y base z

 

I would like to create a plane or vector with node ids as N1, N2, N3 and base point.

 

Thanks in advance!

Just write a Procedure with N1, N2, N3 & base point as arguments. Within this procedure, you compute the normal vector and call *createplane :-)

Hi Nguyen,

Thanks for the reply!

Can you help me with the codes for computing vector out of N1, N2, N3 and base point?

Thanks!
