sketch joint-set create command

Syntax

sketch joint-set create keyword ...

Primary keywords:

angle    gap    origin    spacing    trace    group    keep-domain    minimum-length

Generate a collection of edges representing a sub-parallel joint set within user-specified domain based on the characteristics defined by the following keywords:

angle f1 <f2 >

Angle of joint track to vertical v-axis (default = 0.0).

gap f1 <f2 >

Gap length between joint segments (default = 0.0). If defined, the joints are discontinuous and Trace has to be defined.

origin v1

Set the origin, or starting point, of the joint set. The first fracture generated will pass through this point.

spacing f1 <f2 >

Spacing normal to joint tracks (default = 1.0).

trace f1 <f2 >

Trace length of joint segment (default = 0.0). If defined, the joints are discontinuous and Gap has to be defined.

For each parameter provided above, the first entry should be the mean value and the second should be the standard deviation from the mean (for normal/Gaussian probability distribution).

group s1 <slot s2 >

Assign group name s1 in slot s2 (if supplied) to the joint set. If the slot keyword is omitted, slot Default is used.

keep-domain b

If b = True, the domain is preserved. By the default, the domain is deleted each time after creating a joint set.

minimum-length f

Joints (edges) shorter than this length will not be created. By the default, minimum-length is set to 0.1.
