*SYMMETRIC MODEL GENERATION

Second line:

1. X-coordinate of point c.

2. Y-coordinate of point c.

3. Z-coordinate of point c.

Data lines if the REVOLVE parameter is included:

First line:

1. X-coordinate of point a.

2. Y-coordinate of point a.

3. Z-coordinate of point a.

4. X-coordinate of point b.

5. Y-coordinate of point b.

6. Z-coordinate of point b.

Second line:

1. X-coordinate of point c.

2. Y-coordinate of point c.

3. Z-coordinate of point c.

Third line:

1. Segmentangle, ,through which the cross-s ection must be revolved. .The

segments are connected, so, except for the ﬁrst segment, each segment starts at the end point

of the segment given on the previous data line.

2. Number of subdivisions or elements to be used in the segment. The default is 1. A single

element subdivision must not exceed 45° when general elements are used or 180° when

cylindrical elements are used.

3. Biasratio to be used in the spacing of nodes generated overthe segm ent. The value is set to the

ratio of adjacentangles between nodes along each arc of nodes generated. Thus,if the value is

less thanone, thenodes are concentrated towardthe beginning of the segment; and if the value

is greater than one, the nodes are concentratedtoward the end of the segment. The defaultis

1.0.

4. Includethe “word” GENERA L (default) to generate general three-dimensional elem ents or the

“word” CYLINDRICAL to generate cylindrical elements.

Repeat the third data line as often as necessary to deﬁne the discretization of the model in the

circumferential direction.
