- a sphere. Create the mesh in one of the following ways:
-
- - specify the center and radius of the sphere, as well as
- the number of latitude and longitude lines.
-
- - specify the center and diameter of the sphere, as well
- as the number of latitude and longitude lines.
-
- Select a method for creating the mesh by choosing from the
- following options:
-
-
- CTR+RAD - to create a mesh given the center and radius of
- the sphere, as well as the number of longitude and
- latitude lines in the sphere.
-
- Locate the center of the sphere using a Position Menu
- option.
-
- Enter the radius of the sphere as a number greater than
- 0.0.
-
- Enter the number of longitude and latitude lines.
-
- CTR+DIA - to create a mesh given the center and diameter
- of the sphere, as well as the number of longitude and
- latitude lines in the sphere.
-
- Locate the center of the sphere using a Position Menu
- option.
-
- Enter the diameter of the sphere as a number greater than
- 0.0.
-
- Enter the number of longitude and latitude lines.
-
- Indicate whether or not you want to group the entities.
- Choose NO to continue without grouping. Choose YES to
