Card 4d - Third Level Node Generation

This optional card create 3D matrix of nodes.

Parameters: KODE, NC, NDC, DC1, DC2, DC3.

This Card, when it follows a Card 4b, which in turn follows a Card 4a, creates a matrix of NA*NB*NC nodes in the A, B, and C directions. Card 4b generates the nodes on a plane in the A and B directions. Card 4d generates NC of these planes in the C direction.

KODE

KODE is the code GEN3RD (or -7) generates a 3D matrix of nodes..

NC

NC is the number of nodes in the C direction.

NDC

NDC is the node number increment in the C direction.

DC1, DC2, DC3

DC1, DC2, DC3 are the (X, Y, Z) or (R, θ, Z) or (R, θ, ϕ) increments of the node coordinates in the C direction, depending on the coordinate system defined on Card 4c.
