i
1
= Element number (any number up to six digits). If
MEMBER INCIDENCE is provided, this number must
not coincide with any MEMBER number.
i
2
...i
5
= Clockwise or counterclockwise joint numbers which
represent the element connectivity. i
5
is not needed for
triangular (3 noded) elements.
The following data is needed if elements are to be generated:
i
6
= Last element number to which elements are generated.
i
7
= Element number increment by which elements are generated.
Defaults to 1 if omitted.
i
8
= Joint number increment which will be added to incident
joints. Defaults to 1 if omitted.
The following data is needed if REPEAT or REPEAT ALL
commands are used to generate elements:
n = Number of times repeat is to be carried out.
e
i
= Element number increment.
j
i
= Joint number increment.
Example
ELEMENT INCIDENCE
1 1 2 7 6
2 3 4 8
3 8 9 11 10 TO 8
9 1 3 7 TO 14
Notes
The PRINT ELEMENT INFO command may be used to verify the
element incidences provided or generated by REPEAT and
REPEAT ALL commands.
Also, use the Post Processing facility to verify geometry
graphically.
