HPLATE

The PPOS attribute for HPLATE elements returns the eventpoints for the plate that means, corner points.

There are 3 points for each corner, one for each material side and one for the mould plane.

PPOS index:

• 0 - 49 contains points related to the material side generated by the value in the attribute DIST(1)

• 50 - 99 contains points related to the material side generated by the value in the attribute DIST(2)

• 100 - 149 contains points related to the mould plane

The PPLS attribute returns a list of all valid PPoint indexes, while the PPVI attribute returns the visible PPoint indexes. In the case that DIST(1) or DIST(2) equals 0.0 that means, coincides with the mould plane, PPVI will not contain references to the mouldplane indexes.
