3. Operands#

3.1. Operand MAILLAGE#

♦ MAILLAGE = my

Name of the mesh for which the curvilinear abscissa is defined.

3.2. Operands GROUP_NO_INIT and GROUP_NO_FIN#

♦ GROUP_NO_INIT = gni, [grno]

♦ GROUP_NO_FIN = gnf, [grno]

The function is defined across the entire mesh. The operands” GROUP_NO_INIT “and” GROUP_NO_FIN “are used to define the area of application of the speed profile. Outside of this area, the function value is zero.

3.3. Keyword VITE#

♦ VITE

As a factor keyword, it allows you to define the speed profile.

♦ PROFIL

This operand, associated with operands VALE and NB_BAV, allows you to define a « type » profile: “UNIFORME” or “LEONARD”.

/◊ VALE = vale

Allows you to define the level of the function, if the typical profile is” UNIFORME “.

/◊ NB_BAV

If the profile is of type “LEONARD”, NB_BAV defines a « type » profile stored in a catalog.

Note:

BAV (Anti-Vibratory Bar) is a terminology related to steam generator tubes. NB_BAVcorrespond to the number of anti-vibration bars in the area where the profile is obtained.

3.4. Operand INTERPOL#

◊ INTERPOL

Type of interpolation of the function between parameter values in the domain of definition.

  • “LIN”:

linear,

  • “LOG”:

logarithmic,

3.5. Operands PROL_GAUCHE and PROL_DROITE#

◊ PROL_GAUCHE/PROL_DROITE

Define the type of extension to the left (respectively to the right) of the parameter definition domain.

  • “LINEAIRE”:

the function is extended to the left (to the right) by a right segment with the same slope as at the lower (upper) limit of the parameter definition domain,

  • “EXCLU”:

extrapolation of the function outside the domain of definition of the parameter is forbidden,

  • “CONSTANT”:

the function is extended to the left (right) by the value it takes at the lower (upper) bound of the parameter definition domain.

3.6. Operand INFO#

◊ INFO

Print level.

  • INFO = 1:

no printing,

  • INFO = 2:

we print in the file MESSAGEle the name of the function, the number of definition points, the name of the parameter, the name of the result, the extension and interpolation options and the first 10 values of the function and the first 10 values of the function, in ascending order of the parameter.

3.7. Operand TITRE#

◊ TITRE = title

Text argument defining the title attached to the output function concept.
