Description: Defines a list of structural surface elements for virtual fluid mass.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| LID | List identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| EIDi | Element identification number(s). See Remarks 1 and 2. | Integer > 0; E1 < E2 | Required |
Remarks:
- If the ELIST entry is referenced by field 6 of an MFLUID entry, the wetted side of the element is determined by the presence or absence of a minus sign preceding the element ID on the ELIST entry. A minus sign indicates that the fluid is on the side opposite to the element positive normal as determined by applying the right-hand rule to the sequence of its corner points.
- If the THRU symbol is used, elements in the sequence E1 through E2 are not required to exist but E1 and E2 must have the same sign. Elements that do not exist or are not compatible will be skipped. The THRU symbol may not appear in fields 3 or 9 on the parent entry and fields 2 or 9 on the continuations.
