    The RELA operator has two functions :

  ----------------
  | 1st function |                          
  ----------------                                      
                                                          


   RIG1 = RELA  |      | (VAL1) | MOT1                     | GEO1 ...
                |'MINI'|        | 'DEPL' |'DIRECTION' VEC1 |
                |'MAXI'|        | 'ROTA' |                 |

                |  +   | (VAL2) | MOT2                     | GEO2  ...
                |  -   |        | 'DEPL' |'DIRECTION' VEC2 |
                                | 'ROTA' |                 |

    Description :
    _____________

    The RELATION operator enables the user to construct the stiffness
 associated with a linear relation between the unknowns of MOTi
 names weighted by (possible) coefficients VAL1, VAL2 ..., or
 respective mesh nodes GEO1, GEO2, (c.f. the example) ...

    Contents :
    _________

    MOTi : unknown names (MOT type)

    VALi : weighting coefficients (ENTIER or FLOTTANT type)

    VECi : enables the user to connect the displacement (key word
           'DEPL') or the rotation (key word 'ROTA') in the VEC1 
           (POINT type) direction

    GEOi : geometries (MAILLAGE type) having all the same number
           of nodes

    RIG1 : generated object (RIGIDITE type) to be added to the
           stiffness of the structure for the solution

    Note :
    _______

    The DEPIMP operator allows the user to impose a non-zero value on
 the relation.

    The relation may be either of equality or inequality type (case of
unilateral relations) with the key words 'MINI' or 'MAXI'.

    Example :
    _________

    REL1 = RELA MINI 2.5 UX L1 - UY L2 + 3 UX L3 ;
    JEU1 = DEPIMP REL1 0.3 ;

  The corresponding inequalities are : 

 2.5*UX(node i of L1)-UY(node i of L2)+3*UX(node i of L3) >EG 0.3

  for i=1,...,number of nodes of L1 (and L2, L3, ... too)

    Creation of a relation from a CHPOINT
    _____________________________________

    RIG1 = RELA  | 'MAXI' |  CHPO1  ;
                 | 'MINI' |


    Description :
    _____________

    The RELATION operator enables the user to construct the stiffness
 associated with a linear relation between the unknowns whose names
 are those of the components of the field by points CHPO1 (CHPOINT
 type) at the points which are those of the field and which are
 weighted by the values of this field at these points.


    The relation may be either of equality or inequality type (case of
unilateral relations) with the key words 'MINI' or 'MAXI'.


    CORI option
    ___________

    RIG1 = RELA  'CORI' 'DEPL' | ('NOVERIF') GEO1 ;
                               |
                               | 'ROTA' GEO1 (GEO2) ;

    Description :
    ____________

    The 'CORI' option of the RELA operator enables the user to
construct the stiffness RIG1 (RIGIDITE type) associated with a
rigid body motion for a geometry :
    If the key word 'ROTA' is not given the rigid body motion is
ensured by imposing that the distance between the nodes remain constant.
For this, at least 4 non-coplanar points are requested in 3D as well as
3 non-colinear points in 2D (if this is not the case, use the word
'NOVERIF', but the result may not be the one expected). This option must
be used when rotations are not included in the degrees of freedom of the
problem.
    If the key word 'ROTA' is given the rigid body motion is ensured by
imposing that the degrees of freedom of GEO1 (MAILLAGE  or POINT type
with rotational degrees of freedom) and of GEO2 (MAILLAGE type without
rotational degrees of freedom/optional) are the elements of reduction of
the same distributor defined by the displacements and rotations at a
master point of GEO1.




    ENSE option
    ___________

    RIG1 = RELA  'ENSE' MOT1 GEO1 ;

    Description :
    _____________

    The 'ENSE' option of the RELA operator enables the user to
 construct the stiffness RIG1 (RIGIDITE type) associated with
 an global motion : the value on the degree of freedom MOT1
 (MOT type) is imposed as being identical for all the nodes of GEO1
 (MAILLAGE type).

    option ACCRO
    ___________


  RIG1 = RELA  GEO1  'ACCRO'  GEO2  ( LMOTS )  (FLOT1) ;
  
  RIG1 = RELA  'ACCRO' 'FORT' MODL2 | GEO1  ;
                                    | MODL1 ;
  
    Description :
    _____________
    'ACCRO' option allows to build the stiffness associated to the
    binding of mesh GEO1 upon mesh GEO2 . Any GEO1 point contained 
    in a GEO2 element is bound to follow  a linear combination of 
    its nodes displacements. 
     
    Eventually  LMOTS (LISTMOTS type ) list of DOF concerned. Default:
    the DOF of mechanic (2D : UX UY or UR UZ if axisymmetrical; 
    3D : UX UY UZ  )
    
    FLOT1 optional floating number allows to bind nodes slightly 
    out of geo2 boundary . ( default value 1.e-5) - must stay
    small if used 

    With the keyword FORT, nodes of GEO1 (or of modele MODL1) are binded
    to the elements of modele MODL2. It takes into account the possible
    enrichment XFEM (jump + crack-tip functions) of MODL2.

    NOTA: this operation can be time consuming , if possible do not
    ask binding of nodes obviously outside of GEO2 



    option GLISSANT
    ___________


  RIG1 = RELA  GEO1  'GLISSANT'   GEO2  ( LMOTS )  (FLOT1) ;
  
    Description :
    _____________
    'GLISS' option allows to build the stiffness associated to the
    sliding of mesh GEO1 upon mesh GEO2 . GEO1 is compound of seg2 or 
    seg3 elements.Any GEO1 point contained in a GEO2 element is only 
    allowed to slide along itself and is bound to follow a linear 
    combination of GEO2 nodes displacements in perpendicular directions. 
     
   
    FLOT1 optional floating number allows to bind nodes slightly 
    out of geo2 boundary . ( default value 1.e-5) - must stay
    small if used 
    

  NOTA : this operation can be time consuming , if possible do not
   ask binding of nodes obviously outside of GEO2 



    option MILI
    ___________


  RIG1 = RELA  MILI (LISMOT1) GEO1 ;
  
    Description :
    _____________


    The MILI option builds the stiffness which links linearly the DOF of
    the midside nodes of a quadratic mesh (GEO1) to its vertices. The
    DOF are specified by the LISTMOTS. By default, the DOF of concerned
    are the displacments.

    REMARK: This option is useful to model problems involving contact
    while using quadratic elements. Since the mesh of contact is built
    from linear elements, the displacments of the midside nodes of the
    quadratic elements describing the structures have to be constrained
    to follow linearly the displacments of the vertices.


    option TUYA
    ___________


  RIG1 = RELA  TUYA  GEOM1  GEOM2    CRIT;
  
   
    Assuming a pipe  (GEOM1 seg2 or seg3) in which the temperature 
    of the fluid can be considered constant this operation will
    impose that each points of GEO2 has the same temperature as 
    its projected point on the line. The distance between one point
    and its projected one must be less than CRIT.



  -----------------
  | 2nd function  |
  -----------------


    ATTA1 = RELA   ELSTR1  MOT1  LREEL1
                   BLSTR1  'LX'  LREEL2
                    ....   ...    ....      ;

    The RELA operator describes an elementary linkage between
 one (or several) substructure(s). It creates an ATTA1 object of
 ATTACHE type.

    Contents :
    __________


    ELSTR1  : ELEMSTRU type object created by the ELST operator

    MOT1    : component of the point(s) of ELSTR1

    LREEL1  : values of the coefficients applied to each point of
              ELSTR1 (LISTREEL type)
              If there is only one point in ELSTR1, a FLOTTANT
              number may be provided

    BLSTR1  : BLOQSTRU type object created by the CLST operator

    'LX'    : compulsory component for a restraint

    LREEL2  : values of the coefficients applied to the points created
              when applying a restraint by the BLOQUE operator
              (LISTREEL type)
