Presently, three interface functions are defined:
When a load is read from an ESAComp file, the reader should keep in mind that the numbering of plies follows different conventions in FeResPost and ESAComp. When a thermo-elastic loading is defined, the ESAComp “bottom” temperature corresponds to FeResPost “Tsup”, and the “top” temperature corresponds to “Tinf”. The same remark applied to thermo-elastic loading.
Note that the neutral data files (“ndf” files) mentioned above are files with a format specific to the FeResPost.
