General
The structure of data
cara_elem
is a whole of
cards
[D4.06.05] which contains
information assigned to the finite elements of the model.
In general, this information relates to the elements of structure: hulls, beams,… it are by
example the thickness of the hulls, characteristics of inertia of the beams,…
It is also used
CARA_ELEM
to assign an orientation (a local reference mark) to Iso elements
parametric. This orientation is necessary if for example the material is not isotropic.
