   * Bigger objects which require more arguments, like curves, are defined using a temporary object, which is filled and copied. For example, a curve is created by first defining a line (see below).   * Bigger objects which require more arguments, like curves, are defined using a temporary object, which is filled and copied.

-In this example, ''[[doc:user:geometry:user:points]]'' are defined with the first method, i.e. with the "define"-function. The first argument is a user number, which must be strictly positive and different for each entity in a common set. The next three arguments are the spatial coordinates $x, y$ and $z$. Since the geometry was set to plane strain, the default plane $z=0$ is considered and only $x$ and $y$ are given.+In this example, ''[[doc:user:geometry:user:points]]'' are defined with the first method, i.e. with the "define"-function.

 The meshers ([[doc:user:geometry:mesh:1d|1D Mesher]], [[doc:user:geometry:mesh:2d|2D Mesher]]) are linked to the entity that must be meshed and executed with the command ''execute()''. For face 1, the [[doc:user:geometry:mesh:2d|integrated mesher TIM]] (Transfinite Interpolation Method), suitable for quadrangles where two opposite edges have the same numbers of elements, is used. The meshers ([[doc:user:geometry:mesh:1d|1D Mesher]], [[doc:user:geometry:mesh:2d|2D Mesher]]) are linked to the entity that must be meshed and executed with the command ''execute()''.

 The description of this model is now over. What is left to consider is the way the ''Metafor'' analysis, in charge of running the simulation, will integrate the equations temporally. The description of this model is now over.

-Many options are available, however the simplest one is chosen here, which is a quasi-static integration (where the inertia is neglected). What remains to define is the temporal interval on which the simulation will be run, and the way the results will be saved (see [[doc:user:integration:general:time_step]]).+Many options are available, however the simplest one is chosen here, which is a quasi-static integration (where the inertia is neglected).
