Nomenclature

This section contains nomenclature used to provide clarity to the complete listing of the EMA3D® input file. Incorporated within the input file listing in Chapter 7 are various entities surrounded by square brackets, [], parentheses, ( ), curly brackets, { }. These are not present in the actual EMA3D input file but are provided below for informational purposes only. The square brackets state the nature of the datum entry type. The datum entry type designators are, “c” for a character field, “r” for a real number, and, “i”, for an integer. The parentheses contain the possible candidates for each entry. The curly brackets indicate certain restrictions, while the angle brackets provide additional clarifications. Remember, a first level keyword is preceded by a, “!”, a second level keyword by a, “!!”, and a third level keyword by a, “!!!”. Input file nomenclature and associated meanings are provided below for easy inspection.
