*INCIDENT WAVE REFLECTION
Define the reflection load on a surface caused by incident wave fields.

This option is used to define reflected incident wave fields. It must be used in conjunction with the *INCIDENT WAVE option.

Data lines to define an incident wave reflection: 

First line:

  1. Distance from the source point to the first reflecting plane.

  2. -direction cosine of the normal to the reflecting plane, pointing away from the source point.

  3. -direction cosine of the normal to the reflecting plane, pointing away from the source point.

  4. -direction cosine of the normal to the reflecting plane, pointing away from the source point.

  5. Name of the *IMPEDANCE PROPERTY to be applied to this reflecting plane. If no value is given, the reflecting plane is assumed to be “soft.”

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to describe the planes that reflect the incident wave.
