!  Note:
!    the computed values #7 and #8 should be same order of magnitude than #9
!    (Sx = Sy = Ko*Sz), however due to the mesh density are significantly different.
!     Increasing the density of the mesh that difference would be reduced (all stresses
!     would approach zero)

! Warning and error tolerances
  *DO,II,1,12
    TOLER(II,1) = 1E4
    TOLER(II,2) = 1E4
