zone-block create command

Syntax

zone-block create keyword ...

Primary keywords:

block-gp-group    zone-face-group    tolerance

Create coupling between FLAC3D zones and 3DEC blocks. A group name must be supplied to identify 3DEC gridpoints on the boundary and FLAC3D faces on the boundary.

block-gp-group s <keyword ...>

Specify the group name for 3DEC gridpoints to be used in the coupling scheme. By default all slots will be searched.

Both the group and the slot can be encoded into the single string s. To do this use the construction ‘slotname=groupname’, where the name to the left of the equals sign will be the slot, and the name to the right will be the group.

slot s2

Optionally specify a slot s2 to limit the search for 3DEC gridpoints with the specified group name only in the specified slot.

zone-face-group s <keyword ...>

Specify the group name for FLAC3D faces to be used in the coupling scheme. By default all slots will be searched.

Both the group and the slot can be encoded into the single string s. To do this use the construction ‘slotname=groupname’, where the name to the left of the equals sign will be the slot, and the name to the right will be the group.

slot s2

Optionally specify a slot s2 to limit the search for FLAC3D faces with the specified group name only in the specified slot.

tolerance f

A tolerance used to determine if 3DEC gridpoints lie on FLAC3D faces. This tolerance is multiplied by the global 3DEC tolerance to get a distance measure (see block tolerance). If the distance between a gridpoint and a faces is less than f times the 3DEC tolerance, then the coupling link will be set up. By default, the value is 0.1.
