Shield Transfer Direction

This keyword is used to specify the transfer direction for individual shields. Specifications provided here overwrite those provided by the SHIELD GLOBAL TRANSFER DIRECTION keyword. The required input file text line format is:

Specification of this parameter will overwrite the global specification. If the IN parameter was specified, then electromagnetic energy is coupled only from the exterior of the associated shield to the interior. No energy is coupled outward through the shield. In an analogous manner, if the OUT direction was selected, then electromagnetic energy is coupled only from the interior of the associated shield to the exterior. The BOTH selection allows energy coupling in both directions.
