10.4.7 Initialize_Shell_Partition Procedure

The Initialize_Shell_Partition procedure sets up the Cell_Structure, the Node_Structure, and the Nodes_of_Cells_Index for a ``Shell Partitioning''. The ``Shell Partitioning'' numbering scheme, which is designed to be a poorly distributed scheme for testing purposes, is described in the Generate_Shell_Partition procedure.

Calling syntax:

call Initialize_Shell_Partition		NDimensions, Cell_Structure, Node_Structure,
		Nodes_of_Cells_Index, Output

Input variables:

	NDimensions		The number of dimensions (1=line, 2=square, 3=cube).
	Output		Output toggle.

Output variables:

	Cell_Structure		The Cell Base_Structure object.
	Node_Structure		The Node Base_Structure object.
	Nodes_of_Cells_Index		The Nodes_of_Cells Data_Index object.

The Initialize_Shell_Partition code listing contains additional documentation.
