3 Input data file format

The file my_file, as mentionned above, provides the input data of the problem to be worked out. A list of 4 capital letter key-words organizes the inputs in several groups such as mesh, material properties, boundary conditions, etc. For example the key-word GEOM is followed by the inputs defining the dimension and the symmetry of the problem. The full list of key-words which must appear in my_file is given in the table below. Any line begining with # is considered as comments and skipped.
