      EPS1 = EPTH  MODL1 MAT1 CH1 ;


    Description :
    ____________

    The EPTH operator calculates the strains of thermal origin
    associated with a temperature field.


      Contents :
      _____________

      MODL1 : model object (MMODEL type)

      MAT1  : field of material and geometrical properties
              (MCHAML type, CARACTERISTIQUES subtype)

      CH1   : temperature field (MCHAML type, TEMPERATURES
              subtype or CHPOINT type)
              For the joint elements, only the MCHAML type 
              temperature fields are possible. The CHPOINT type
              is not permitted for the joints.

      EPS1  : strain field (MCHAML type, CONTRAINTES subtype)


    Note :
    _______

    For the shell elements, the temperature field must have three
 components with the following names : TINF ,T, and TSUP which
 define respectively the temperature on bottom layer, on mid-surface
 and on top layer.
    
    For the other elements, the temperature field must have one
 component with the following name : T. 

    Note :
    _________

   For offset shells, the strains are computed at the 
 level of the offset mid-surface.
