2D boundary. The element is used to model convection and radiation between the structure and the environment. It is defined by 1, 2, or 3 “real” nodes and 1 node representing the environment.
It can only be used with laws RACO and COPO1 (for pollution problems).
If the element is connected to a RAYON element, it must have 3 nodes.
For pollution problems, these elements must be defined last.

NPOND | Ponderation index = 0 for classic use (law RACO1) = 1 for Upwind elements in a pollutant transport problem (law COPO1), in that case NNODE must be equal to 2: one node that belongs to the convection-diffusion elements (CONV2, ADVE2, ELAN2) and one environment node. |
NCOEL | Number of elements related to true nodes (1 to 4) - see Note (1) |
ICAS | For each NCOEL one must detail the topology of the related elements - see Note (1) |
NODES | List of nodes (4, 3 or 2) see figure 1 |
Remark: For a Eulerian Lagrangian analysis of pollution, the environment node must be positioned outside the structure.
