Definitions

Field Contents SI Unit Example
BMID Barrier mesh identification number. Referenced from a DSHAPE Bulk Data Entry.

No default (Integer > 0)

G# Grid point identification number of connection points. G1, G2, and G3 are required to define tria faces, G4 is required to define quad faces.

No default (Integer ≥ 0, all unique)
