Parametric lines 1

[NCR9026]

This seems like a really easy question, but I haven't been able to find a good answer. It's probably too easy to warrant mention, but I'm still new to ANSYS and am kind of lost.

How can I draw a smooth line based on a known parametric function? I want to draw a line (x,f(x)) where

f(x) = C * x^a * (L-x)^b, 0<=x<=L

and C,a,b are known parameters.

Thank you.
Nick

Hello

The best way is to use APDL. Take a look at the *DO ans SPLINE commands.

Thank you. I have another question, but I think it'd probably be more appropriate for a new thread.
