Geometry and Variables Model Specification

This document describes the format for an input file that defines a finite element model with multiple parts, domains, variables, and geometry. It specifies the sections for general model information, geometry, variables, coordinates, and connectivity for structured or unstructured meshes. Transient problems require multiple input files, while changing geometry can be handled in the current file or by referencing external files.
