    CHEL1 = PRCH  CHPO1 OBAF1 MOT1 ;
        
    Description :
    _____________

    The PRCH operator makes it possible to turn a field by
 points into a field by elements by means of an interpolation
 based on the functions whose form is that of the finite elements
 formulation. 

    Contents :
    __________


    OBAF1 : field by elements support (AFFECTE type)

    CHPO1 : field by points (CHPOINT type)

    MOT1  : CHAMELEM subtype (MOT type) composed of 8 characters
            (see the note below for the possible types)

    CHEL1 : field by elements (CHAMELEM type, MOT1 subtype)


    Note :
    ________

    The possible subtypes are the following :

   'NOEUD   '    : scalar at the element nodes

   'GRAVITE '    : scalar at the centre of gravity

   'RIGIDITE'    : scalar at the stiffness matrix points
                   of integration

   'MASSE   '    : scalar at the mass matrix points
                   of integration

   'STRESSES'    : scalar at the stress calculation points 


                                            (position)

   'FORCES  '    : forces                   (NOEUD   )

   'DEPLACEM'    : displacements            (NOEUD   )

   'CONTRAIN'    : stresses                 (STRESSES)

   'DEFORMAT'    : strains                  (STRESSES)

   'CARACTER'    : characteristics          (RIGIDITE)

   'MATERIAU'    : material                 (RIGIDITE)

   'TEMPERAT'    : temperature              (STRESSES)

   'PRINCIPA'    : principal stresses       (STRESSES)

   'MAHOOKE '    : Hooke's matrix           (RIGIDITE)

   'VARINTER'    : internal variables       (STRESSES)


    The geometrical support of CHEL2 will be that of OBAF1.
