IGNORE

(optional) ignore this geometry item when reading from geometry file

In the alias definition, if a boundary element is tagged with the IGNORE flag this boundary item will be ignored when reading from the geometry file. This is useful when there are parts in the geometry, that shall not take part in the simulation. Instead of removing them from the geometry file, they can be ignored by name - also by using wildcards. Example 1:

begin_alias{} "wheel" = " IGNORE " # ignore all boundary elements "wheel" end_alias

Example 2: Using wildcards:

begin_alias{} "wheel*" = " IGNORE " # ignore all parts which names start with 'wheel' end_alias
