Card 5c - Third Level Element Generation

KODE

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

NC

NC is the number of elements in the C direction.

NDC

NDC is the element number increment in the C direction.

NDVC(I)

NDVC(I) is the I'th node number increment in the C direction.

MM

MM is the number of nodes in each element, which may be from 1 to 8, and must be equal to the number of nodes of the starting element.

Code example

The following example generates 8 solid elements 1, 2, 11, 12, 101, 102, 111, 112.
