contraction ctr
Adds contraction features to structural surfaces.
Adds contraction features to one or more existing structural surfaces in the geometry.
contraction Polygon_1
Adds a contraction feature to Polygon_1.
contraction Polygon_2 Polygon_3
Adds contraction features to Polygon_2 and Polygon_3.
contraction (Polygon_6 Polygon_4)
Adds contraction features to Polygon_6 and Polygon_4.
contraction Group_1
Adds contraction features to all structural surfaces in Group_1. Group_1 should consist of only structural surfaces.

{1} SurfaceContraction
Adds contraction features to one or more existing structural surfaces in the geometry and directly sets their properties.
contraction Polygon_1 "Distribution" "Axial increment" "C_inc_axial" 2.1
Adds a contraction feature to Polygon_1, sets the Distribution to "Axial increment" and the Cinc,axial to 2.1.
contraction (Polygon_2 Polygon_3) "Distribution" "Axial increment" "C_inc_axial" 2.1
Adds contraction features to Polygon_2 and Polygon_3, sets the Distribution to "Axial increment" and the Cinc,axial to 2.1 for both contractions.
