Parameter definition
Variable
Description
coid
Command ID
$n_1$
Number of data points in direction 1 (rows if $n_3 = 0$)
$n_2$
Number of data points in direction 2 (columns if $n_3 = 0$)
$n_3$
Number of data points in direction 3 (optional)
$x_1$, ..., $x_8$
Data points 1 to 8
.
$x_M$, ..., $x_N$
Data points $M$ to $N = n_1 \times n_2 \times n_3$
Description
This command defines a cartesian map of $n_1 \times n_2 \times n_3$ data points. The data points are to be listed in a row-wise consecutive order.
Example
Pressure loaded panel
An example using MAP to define a pressure load on a plate. The three arguments to map() in the FUNCTION with ID 100 are the MAP ID, the parametric location in the row direction (between 0 and 1) and the parametric location in the column direction.
