Comments
- The sensor types AND, OR, NOT, INTER, RWALL, RBODY and SECT work with all options using sensors.
- USER1,
USER2 and USER3 are sensors that you may
create.
The input format must be defined by a user supplied program. Refer to the Radioss User Subroutine Manual for more information about programming user sensors.
