*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 INTERACTION option (preferred interface for applying incident wave loading) or the *INCIDENT WAVE option (alternative interface).

Data lines to define an incident wave reflection: 

First line:

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

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

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

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

  5. Reflection coefficient. The default value is zero, meaning no reflected wave will be applied.

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