Boundary condition IDs

The ID specifies the type of boundary condition to be modified by a particular card.

• 6 element pressure
• 7 nodal force
• 8 nodal displacement
• 10 nodal temperature
• 15 nodal heat source
• 16 distributed heat source
• 17 convection
• 18 radiation emissivity (not implemented)
• 99 point (dash) elements

  For point elements (i1=99), i2 is the material ID of the element.
