Embedded Blocks

Syntax: Embedded Blocks {=} VolumeList…
Summary: Specifies the element blocks to be embedded within another volume.

Parameter	Value	Default
{=}	{= \| are \| is}	–
VolumeList	string…	–

Enclosing Blocks

Syntax: Enclosing Blocks {=} VolumeList…
Summary: Specifies the element blocks in which EMBEDDED BLOCKS can reside.

Parameter	Value	Default

VolumeList	string…	–

Expand Box Percentage

Syntax: Expand Box Percentage {=} Percentage
Summary: This command is no longer used. It remains available for backwards compatibility until version 4.50.

Parameter	Value	Default
{=}	{= \| are \| is}	–
Percentage	real	1.0

Field Name

Syntax: Field Name {=} FieldName
Summary: Specifies the fields to tie constraints to (default is temperature).

Parameter	Value	Default
{=}	{= \| are \| is}	–
FieldName	string	–

Interaction Output

Syntax: Interaction Output {=} {active | all | error | none | summary}
Summary: When this line is present, detailed information of the contact interactions are output.

Parameter	Value	Default
