<pre>
All <tt>XML</tt> input command files for MPM calculations in [[NairnMPM]] must conform to the following document definition including order of all <tt>XML</tt> elements. This template lists only the top-level main element and their next-level subordinate elements. For the subordinate elements, those separated by a vertical bar (|) mean any one of those elements in any order while those separated by commas mean in exactly that order. A more formal definition for MPM input <tt>XMlL</tt> files is given in the <tt>DTD</tt> file provided in the source code files at <tt>NairnMPM/input/NairnMPM.dtd</tt>.

Input XML files for NairnMPM must conform to the definition on this page.

FEA Input XML File Definition

All XML input command files for MPM calculations in NairnMPM must conform to the following document definition including order of all XML elements. This template lists only the top-level main element and their next-level subordinate elements. For the subordinate elements, those separated by a vertical bar (|) mean any one of those elements in any order while those separated by commas mean in exactly that order. A more formal definition for MPM input XMlL files is given in the DTD file provided in the source code files at NairnMPM/input/NairnMPM.dtd. 

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE JANFEAInput SYSTEM "NairnMPM.dtd"

Notes

  1. The !DOCTYPE element defines the file type and has the SYSTEM option to provide a path to a Document Type Definition (or DTD) file. The path is needed when you run the code with the validation option (-v), which is highly recommended. The required DTD file for MPM calculations is provided in the /input folder of the source code files.
  2. The !DOCTYPE element can define any number of entities. These entities can be used elsewhere in the text of the XML file and they will be replaced by the text in the entity definition. Entities can define values that make it easier to read input XML files and easier to modify them for new calculations.
  3. All input commands are in the top-level <JANFEAInput> element. The version attribute is optional, but might be used in the future.
