LOAD 4
ELEMENT LOAD JOINT
1 by 1 2 by 1 32 by 1 31 by 1 –
FACETS 5 PR GY 10 10 15 15
The above data is equivalent to the following :
LOAD 4
ELEMENT LOAD JOINT
1 2 32 31 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
2 3 33 32 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
3 4 34 33 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
4 5 35 34 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
5 6 36 35 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
So, the value following the word FACETS is like a counter for
generation, indicating how many element faces the load command
must be created for. Thus a value of 5 for facets means, a total of 5
imaginary element faces have been loaded.
BY is the value by which the individual corner node number is
being incremented during the generation. In this example, the
value is 1, which is same as the default. Instead, if it had been say,
1 by 2 2 by 3 32 by 1 31 by 1 -
FACETS 5 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
we would have obtained
1 2 32 31 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
3 5 33 32 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
5 8 34 33 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
7 11 35 34 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
9 14 36 35 FACETS 1 PRESSURE GY 10 10 15 15
