Interface Component

Interface Component entities create an interface in interface file for use in subsequent linking calculations.

Each definition consists of a set of cards that define the interface. Interfaces may consist of a set of segments for later use with *INTERFACE_LINKING_SEGMENT, an ordered line of nodes for use with *INTERFACE_LINKING_EDGE, or an unordered set of nodes for use with *INTERFACE_LINKING_NODE.
