Parameter definition
Variable
Description
gid
Geometry identification number
gid${}_1$, ..., gid${}_8$
Up to 8 sub-geometry ID's
Description
This command is used to combine up to eight sub-geometries into one composite geometry. A negative ID means that the region represented by the sub-geometry will be removed from the composite geometry.
Example
Composite geometry filled with soil
A composite geometry is defined by combining a GEOMETRY_PIPE with a GEOMETRY_BOX. The box is referenced with a negative ID and it cuts a hole in the cylinder defined by the pipe.

Pressure loading
A square plate is subjected to a load pressure defined with a composite geometry. The composite geometry (ID=3) is created by combining the smaller box geometry (ID=2) with the larger box geometry (ID=1). The smaller box is referenced with a negative ID which removes it from the larger box.
