Cubit 17.02 User Documentation

Creating Bricks

The brick is a rectangular parallelepiped.

Command

[Create] Brick {Width|X} <width> [{Depth|Y} <depth>] [{Height|Z} <height>] [Bounding Box {entity_type} <id_range>] [Tight] [[Extended] {Percentage| Absolute} <val>]]

Notes

• A cubical brick is created by specifying only the width or x dimension.
• A brick can be specified to occupy the bounding box of one or more entities, specified on the command line.
• If the Tight option is specified with Bounding Box, the result is the smallest brick that can contain the entities specified, which is the default behavior of the Bounding Box option.
• If the Extended option is specified with Bounding Box, the result is a brick that is extended from a "tight" brick by the input percentage or absolute value.
• If a bounding box specification is used in conjunction with any of the other parameters (X, Y or Z), the parameters specified override the bounding box results for that or those dimensions.
