1
NDP
0
turn off layering
-1
proportional spacing
2
absolute elevations
2
I
Node, Element, or Material type as specified by the selected option.
3
NDEP(I)
+
The number of elements in the vertical direction of each corner node.
Note that the numbers are only used for corner nodes, all midside
nodes may be set to zero
4
THLAY(I,J)
+
The elevation of each non-uniformly spaced corner node below the
surface node I.(ie NDP=2) Use zero for uniform spacing (NDP=-1)
