  Operateur INDI                           Voir aussi :
    --------------   
    CHAM1 = INDI GEO1 NOMi ...   ;


    Description :
    -------------

    The INDI operator supplies flags that make it possible to 
    estimate the quality of a mesh.
    The tested criteria are specified by key words.
    The operator creates a field by elements (MCHAML type) whose
    components are actually these criteria.

    Contents :
    ---------

    GEO1   : mesh object (MELEME type)

    NOMi   : key word (MOT type). At the moment, the only valid
             key word is :

   'PLAN'  : planearity criterion for 4-node elements.
             The calculated value is directly proportional to
             the angle between the normals N1 and N2 defined by :

             - N1 = vectorial product (S1 S2,S1 S4)
             - N2 = vectorial product (S3 S4,S3 S2)
               (S1,S2,S3,S4 are the element apexes)

             The values range between 0 and 100.
             An generated MCHAML with a constant value equal to 100
             will indicate that all the elements are plane elements.
