Alter to Calculate Grid Point Locations in the Basic
Coordinate System


Alter Name     gridloca.alt


Purpose

List location of grids in the basic coordinate system, regardless of
placement/displacement coordinate systems used on the GRID
entries.  It is intended as a stand-alone run.  The solution sequence
terminates early and does not do any analysis.


Solution Seqution

Any Structured Solution Sequence (> 100).


Input
 
Executive Control

Include 'gridloca.alt'	

Case Control

DISPLACEMENT = set_id   $ where set_id refers to a SET that contains 
                        the grids to be located.
 
Bulk Data

No special requirements beyond the GRID and CORDi
definitions (although the model must contain at least one
element).


Output

A DISPLACEMENT table containing the XYZ locations of the grids
referenced on the DISPLACEMENT output request appears with the
T1/T2/T3 fields corresponding to the basic X/Y/Z locations.


Limitations

Output in basic coordinate system only.


Sample Files

gridloc1.dat    Test case with 4 coincident grids located in various
coordinate systems.
