FIND ELEMENT

 

This function allows the user to find and identify an element by entering its element number.

 

          Once the element number is entered, the program will highlight the element on the screen and label its node numbers. The node numbers will also be displayed in the PROMPT window.

 

          If the element is not displayed on the screen, the prompt will read:

ELEMENT xxx IN TURNED OFF PART: (the part name)

 

          If the element does not exist in the database, the prompt will read:

ELEMENT xxxx NOT FOUND IN DATABASE
