Comments

  1. If a node is constraint with ALE boundary conditions and classical boundary conditions (/BCS), both boundary conditions must be set is the same skew system (skew_ID).
  2. The grnd_ID input is obligatory. The boundary conditions will only be applied to nodes belonging to a node group.
  3. Detail input format for Grilag is shown above. The three individual codes (one per direction), must be right justified in the ten character fields used by the variable Grilag.
