*UNDEX CHARGE PROPERTY
Define an UNDEX charge for incident waves.

This option defines parameters that create the time histories of load, displacement, and other variables used to simulate an underwater explosion. This option must be used in conjunction with the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY option.
