GET Function Summary
A "get function" is available for some items, and can be used instead of the *GET command. The function returns the value and uses it where the function is input (bypassing the need for storing the value with a parameter name and inputting the parameter name where the value is to be used). For example, assume the average X-location of two nodes is to be calculated. Using the *GET command, parameter L1 can be assigned the X location of node 1 (*GET, L1, NODE, 1, LOC, X), and parameter L2 can be assigned the X location of node 2, then the mid location can be computed from MID = (L1+L2)/2. However, using the node location "get function" NX(N), which returns the X location of node N, MID can be computed directly from MID = (NX(1)+NX(2))/2, without the need for intermediate parameters L1 and L2. Get functions return values in the active coordinate system unless stated otherwise.
Get function arguments may themselves be parameters or other get functions. The get function NELEM(ENUM,NPOS) returns the node number in position NPOS for element ENUM. Combining functions, NX(NELEM(ENUM,NPOS)) returns the X location of that node. Get functions (where available) are shown with the corresponding *GET items in the tables below and are summarized at the end of this command description
Get functions are described at the beginning of this command (see "Notes") and are shown as alternatives to the *GET items where they apply. They are summarized here (grouped by functionality) for convenience.
