Description
Creates an xelem element in HMASCII format.
This must follow *component(). The element will be assigned to the most recent component created using *component().
A *dependentnodes() description must immediately follow.
Nodes must also be defined using *node() before creating an element using those nodes.
Inputs
- id
- The ID of the element.
- type
- The solver specific element type.
- dependentnodeset
- The ID of the dependent node set.
- dependentnodexmax
- The number of dependent nodes in the set.
Example
