Points

A point represents a location in the domain Euclidean space. The management of the list of points in the model is done by means of selecting the menu option Point of the Geometry menu, which shows the list of existing points in the model.

The dialog window allows creating a new point (New button), modifying an existing point (Edit button) or deleting an exiting point (Delete button).

Defining a new point

To define a new point,

· set the object identifier, which has to be a positive integer different than zero)

· Set the coordinate system reference for the point (dropdown menu Ref. Coord. System)

· Besides the coordinates of the point in the coordinate system reference

Depending on the degree of freedom of the model, the dialog windows shows 2 or 3 coordinates defining the point.

Modifying an existing point

The modification of an existing point can be done selecting the Edit button of the List of points dialog window. When selecting this option, there is only one non-modifiable field, so-called object identifier. The rest of files can be modified as when defining a new point.
