INCLUDE

Insert External File

Description: Inserts an external file into the Model Input File.

Format:

INCLUDE [d:] [path] filename[.ext]

Example:

The following INCLUDE statement shows how to fetch the Bulk Data from another file called Bolt.NAS:

TITLE = STATIC ANALYSIS

SPC = 1

LOAD = 2

BEGIN BULK

INCLUDE 'BOLT.NAS'

ENDDATA

Remarks:

The INCLUDE statement may appear anywhere in the Model Input File.
The total length of any line in an INCLUDE statement must not exceed 72 characters. Long file names may be split across multiple lines with a maximum file specification length of 256 characters. For example, the file:
```
C:\NASA\RLV\TankDesigns\Composite\Fittings\NewDesigns\BoltedFittings\Bolt.NAS
```
May be included using the following format:
```
INCLUDE 'C:\NASA\RLV\TankDesigns
           \Composite\Fittings\NewDesigns
           \BoltedFittings\Bolt.NAS
```
INCLUDE statements cannot be nested (i.e., no INCLUDE statement can appear inside the external file).
Quotation marks on the file specification are optional.
