    SURF1 = LIG1  TRANSLATION  (N1) ('DINI' DENS1) ('DFIN' DENS2) VEC1 ;


    Description :
    _____________

   The TRANSLATION operator constructs the surface generated by the
 translation of a line in relation to a given vector.

    Contents :
    __________

    LIG1    : line to be translated (MAILLAGE type)
              the LIG1 object must be a line

    N1      : number of layers of elements generated in the 
              translation (ENTIER type)

    VEC1    : vector of translation (POINT type)

    DENS1 | : densities associated (FLOTTANT type) with the LIG1 line
    DENS2 |   and the VEC1 vector

    SURF1   : generated surface (MAILLAGE type)


    Note :
    ________

    If N1 is not specified, the number of layers of generated 
  elements is computed with respect to the used densities.

   If N1 is specified and positive, N1 layers of equal length
 will be generated.
  
   If N1 is negative, N1 layers will be genrerated and their 
 thickness will be calculated in relation to the used densities.

    If the densities associated with the LIG1 line and the VEC1 
 vector are inaccurate, they may be increased. The accurate value for 
 the initial density will be mentioned after the 'DINI' key word; 
 for the final density, it will be mentioned after the 'DFIN' key word.

    If LIG1 is a surface, the translation will be applied to the  
 side 3 of this surface, if any, and the result will be the initial
 surface plus the new one.
