General parameters describe the model, material field, and characteristics elementary (in particular for structural elements).

MODELE is the name of the model whose elements are the subject of mechanical calculation. The structure of data comes from the [U4.41.01] command. It is still mandatory.

CHAM_MATER is the name of the material field that is assigned on the model. The structure of data comes from the [U4.43.01] command. All the main stitches of the model must be associated with a material.

CARA_ELEM is the name of the characteristics of shell, beam, pipe, pipe, bar, cable, and discrete elements affected on the model. The data structure comes from the command [U4.42.01]. Obviously, this keyword is optional: if the model does not contains no such elements, it is not useful; on the other hand, if the model contains such elements elements, it is mandatory.

3.1. Title

The keyword TITRE allows you to give a title to the calculation. It will be printed at the top of the results. <U4.03.01>See [ref: `U4.03.01 `].

3.2. Managing verbosity

The INFO keyword allows various intermediate impressions to be made in the message file.

Other impressions are made systematically during the nonlinear calculation, independently of the value assigned to the INFO keyword: these are the impressions of the residuals and the increments Relatives of displacement during Newton iterations.

Be careful, output files can become very important with INFO bigger than 2.

The INFO_DBG keyword allows you to limit the output to certain functionalities to control the size of the output file.
