Selecting topological entities
==================================

In order to reduce the volume of prints and the size of the "universal" I- DEAS™ file, it is sometimes necessary to print only part of the result. To do this, you may want to print a field to the nodes only in certain nodes, or one field per element only in certain elements.

This selection, which will be noted as "selection on topological entities", is possible in the format 'IDEAS'.


Operand TOUT
-------------

This keyword indicates that you want to print the field on the whole structure (all the nodes for a field at the nodes, all the elements for one field per element).


Operand NOEUD
--------------

This keyword is used to indicate the list of nodes on which you want to print a fiel_no. If this keyword is used when printing a cham_elem, it is ignored, and the cham_elem is printed in all the meshes specified elsewhere.


Operand GROUP_NO
-----------------

This keyword is used to indicate the list of groups of nodes on which you want to print a fiel_no. If this keyword is used when printing a cham_elem, it is ignored, and the cham_elem is printed in all the meshes, specified elsewhere.


Operand MAILLE
---------------

This keyword allows you to indicate the list of cells on which you want to print a cham_elem. For a fiel_no, it allows you to indicate the list of nodes, vertices of the cells to which you want to print the fiel_no.


Operand GROUP_MA
-----------------

This keyword is used to indicate the list of cell groups on which you want to print a fiel_elem. For a fiel_no, it allows you to indicate the list of nodes, vertices of the cells to which you want to print the fiel_no.
