Syntax

User Field REAL_or_INTEGER NODE_or_FACE_or_ELEMENT SCALAR_or_VECTOR_or_TENSOR Variable_name On Mesh_extent [Smooth nsmooth Iterations | Value {=} Magnitude…]

Summary

Defines a user field of standard type data_type (REAL or INTEGER) on the FEM entity (NODE, FACE, or ELEMENT) with the specified name and Sierra field type (SCALAR, VECTOR, or TENSOR ). The field will be defined on the specified mesh part or mesh group alias. Normally this field would be supplied to Aria through a transfer. If a number of smoothing iterations is specified, the field will be smoothed this many times after any transfers.
