importfg4section obj "section_data"IMPORTFG4SECTION(nged)
NAME
importfg4section - create an object by importing the specified section
On this page
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The importfg4section command parses a FASTGEN4 section (provided as a single, multi-line string) and uses it to construct a new BOT (Bag of Triangles) primitive.
The command extracts structural geometry data by parsing GRID (vertex coordinates), CTRI (triangular face), and CQUAD (quadrilateral face) records from the provided string. Any quadrilateral faces (CQUAD) are automatically split into two triangular faces. The resulting geometry is saved to the database under the specified obj name.
The arguments are: * obj : The name of the new BOT primitive to create. * "section_data" : A string containing the raw FASTGEN4 section data to be parsed.
EXAMPLES
Example 1. Importing FASTGEN4 geometry data
mged> importfg4section wing.bot $fg4_data_string
Creates a new BOT primitive named wing.bot by parsing the raw FASTGEN4 geometry records stored in the variable $fg4_data_string.
