Array Size Considerations

Many of the user routines return a list of entities in integer array IWORK. The dimension of this array needs to be large enough to process any given model. For internal interfaces, the limiting routines are UNODEG and UCSYS2. IWORK should be larger than the maximum number of nodes in the model. For external interfaces, the limiting routine is USTRT2. IWORK should be set to twice the maximum number of nodes in this case.

Note that where internal interfaces have been written and take advantage of the main FEMGEN integer work array IWORK, it is possible for a user to increase the size of this array by editing the FEMGV main program, re-compiling, and re-linking.
