Geometric parameter: definition (structure)

Definition

A geometric parameter is defined by:

  • a name (and a comment)
  • an algebraic expression

Name

The name to identify the geometric parameter is set by the user during the creation of this one.

A comment (optional) can be added to the name.

Algebraic expression

The algebraic expression can contain:

  • constants
  • geometric parameters (created beforehand)
  • basic mathematical functions using operators: +, -, *, /, ( )
  • usual mathematical functions admitted by FORTRAN

The mathematical functions are described in section Functions.
