2D Geometry File
Two-dimensional finite element geometry files are stored in a 2D GEO file. The types
of elements supported in HIVEL2D and the numbering sequence for the elements are
shown in Figure A3. The file format is shown in Figure A4. A sample geometry file is
shown in figure D3 (Appendix D).
