Create_RectBarGrid

Purpose

area and coordinates for rectangular grid of bars

Synopsis

FibAyz = Create_RectBarGrid (BarGeomData)

Description

CREATE_RECTBARGRID area and coordinates for rectangular grid of bars 
  FIBAYZ = CREATE_RECTBARGRID (BARGEOMDATA)
  the function generates an array FIBAYZ with the coordinates and area of bars in a rectangular grid;
  the data structure BARGEOMDATA supplies details of the grid geometry in fields
  AB = area of one bar, BGY,BGZ = grid dimensions and NY,NZ = no of bars in Y-Z, respectively;
  the bars are evenly spaced on the grid which is assumed to be symmetrically placed
  relative to the origin of the Y-Z coordinate system;
  if NY or NZ is equal to 1, the function generates a layer of bars normal to the Y or Z-direction 
  at a distance GDY/2 or GDZ/2 from the origin of the coordinate system, respectively;
  each row of the FIBAYZ array corresponds to one bar with the y-coordinate of the bar in the first,
  the z-coordinate in the second, and the area of the bar in the third column.

  Coordinate system:
                                   ^ y
                                   |
                               ----+----
                               |   |   |
                               |   |   |
                         z <---+---+   |  BGy
                               |       |
                               |       |
                               ---------
