pw:: Node

$node getXYZ ?-grid? ?value?

This action gets the XYZ location of this node.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns an XYZ vector.

See Also

getPoint, pw::Connector.getNode

Example

This example shows how to get the XYZ vector of a grid point in a node.  $node references an existing node.

Code

# these four actions are equivalent
puts [$node getXYZ]
puts [$node getXYZ -grid]
puts [$node getXYZ -grid 1]
puts [$node getXYZ 1]

Output

3.75 2.0 0.0
3.75 2.0 0.0
3.75 2.0 0.0
3.75 2.0 0.0

$node getPoint ?-constrained constrainedVar? ?index?

This action gets the position of a node.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns a point giving the grid point position and this may be in the form “u v dbentity”.

See Also

getXYZ, pw::Connector.getNode

Example

This example shows how to get the point of a node grid point.  $node is referencing an existing node.

Code

# these two actions are equivalent
puts [$node getPoint]
puts [$node getPoint 1]

# these two actions are equivalent
puts [$node getPoint -constrained isDb]
puts "isDb=$isDb"
puts [$node getPoint -constrained isDb 1]
puts "isDb=$isDb"

Output

3.75 2.0 0.0
3.75 2.0 0.0
3.75 2.0 0.0
isDb=0
3.75 2.0 0.0
isDb=0

$node getConnectors

This action gets the connectors of this node.

Parameters

none

Returns

This action returns a list of pw::Connector objects.

$node getDimensions

This action gets the dimensions of this node.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action always returns the integer 1.

See Also

pw::Connector.getNode

Example

This example shows how to get the dimension of a node.  $node is referencing an existing node.

Code

$node getDimensions

Output

1

$node getPointCount ?-constrained constrainedVar?

This action gets the number of grid points in the node.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns 1.

See Also

pw::Connector.getNode

Example

This example shows how to find the point count in a node, as well as the point count that is constrained to database entities.  $node is referencing an existing node.

Code

puts [$node getPointCount -constrained onDB]
puts $onDB

Output

1
0

$node getName

This gets the system assigned node name.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns a unique node name string.

Information

This action is provided to be consistent with the block, domain and connector getName actions.  However, since a pw::Node object is not a grid entity, you cannot set the name of a node and you cannot use “pw::Grid getByName” to get a node.

Example

This example shows how to get the name of a node.  $node is referencing an existing node.

Code

puts [$node getName]

Output

Node_22
