HELIX - SPIRAL SPECIFICATION (GH) Purpose: To generate a helix or spiral of wire segments Card: Cols Parameter ---------------------- 1- 2 GH 3- 5 I1 - ITG 6-10 I2 - NS 11-20 F1 - S 21-30 F2 - HL 31-40 F3 - A1 41-50 F4 - B1 51-60 F5 - A2 61-70 F6 - B2 71-80 F7 - RAD Parameters: Integers ITG (11) - Tag number assigned to all segments of the helix or spiral. NS (12) - Number of segments into which the helix or spiral will be divided. Decimal Numbers S (F1) - Spacing between turns. HL (F2) - Total length of the helix. A1 (F3) - Radius in x at z = 0. B1 (F4) - Radius in y at z = 0. A2 (F5) - Radius in x at z = HL. B2 (F6) - Radius in y at z = HL. RAD (F7) - Radius of wire. Notes: 1. Structure will be a helix if A2 = A1 and HL > 0. 2. Structure will be a spiral if A2 = A1 and HL = 0. 3. HL negative gives a left-handed helix. 4. HL positive gives a right-handed helix.
