Assignment of characteristics
================================

For these elements of 1D structures, it is necessary to assign geometric characteristics that are complementary to the mesh data. These data are defined with the AFFE_CARA_ELEM command associated with the following factor keywords:


* POUTRE

Allows you to define and assign the characteristics of the cross section.

Supported models: TUYAU_3M, TUYAU_6M


* ORIENTATION

Allows you to define and assign a generator.

Supported models: TUYAU_3M, TUYAU_6M


* MASSIF

Optional, allows you to define and assign a direction of magnification (necessary only in the case of a ASSE_COMBU behavior law).

Supported models: TUYAU_3M, TUYAU_6M
