Required parameter:

ELSET

Setthis param eter equal to the name of the element set containing the ITT-, ISL-, IRS-, and ASI- type

contact elements for which properties are being deﬁned.

Optional parameter:

NAME

Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to this interfacedeﬁnition. The label

givencan be used to identify this particular interface deﬁnition in user subroutines such as GAPCON.

Data line for ITT-type elements:

First (and only) line:

1. Radialclearance between the pipes.

Data lines for ISL21A and ISL22A elements:

There are no data lines.

Data lines for IRS-type elements foruse with axisymmetric elements:

There are no data lines.
