This enables you to input a descriptive text for the model.
TITLE description
Parameters:
| TITLE | Keyword |
| Description | Up to 72 character description of the model |
This defines the points on the structural model to which the hydrodynamic loading is to be mapped. The loading may be applied to a node, an element centroid, or an element integration point, depending upon the target FE program. The mapping will be undertaken in the same way irrespective of the type of point which is being defined.
GEOM npoints x(1) y(1) z(1) position . . x(npoints) y(npoints) z(npoints) position
Parameters:
| GEOM | Keyword to denote start of FE geometry definition |
| npoints | Number of data points being defined |
| x(j) | X coordinate for point j |
| y(j) | Y coordinate for point j |
| z(j) | Z coordinate for point j |
| position | Data items identifying load position in the FE program (optional) |
Note: The position data is always ignored. It will have no effect to the load mapping.
This defines the points on the structural model to which the hydrodynamic loading on line elements is to be mapped. The loading may be applied to a node, an element centroid, or an element integration point, depending upon the target FE program. The mapping will be undertaken in the same way irrespective of the type of point which is being defined.
BEAM npoints x(1) y(1) z(1) position . . x(npoints) y(npoints) z(npoints) position
