*REBAR
5. Isoparametric direction (for three-dimensional elements only).
In three-dimensional cases the fractional distances , and are given along the first two edges of
the face identified in Figure 17.10–7 for the isoparametric direction chosen.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Each line defines a single rebar.
