$ MANDATORY KEYWORDS (*SECTION_RANGE, *NRR_NRS_NRT)
$ ==================
$ *SECTION_RANGE is a table for setting weld diameters.  RANGE1 and RANGE2 are
$ lower and upper thickness bounds. (see *SECTION_THICKNESS below). Any number
$ of thickness ranges can be used.  The table must however start with "0.0" and
$ end with "ABOVE".
*SECTION_RANGE
$   RANGE1    RANGE2  DIAMETER
      0.0       1.0       2.1
      1.0       1.5       2.3
      1.5       2.5       2.7
      2.5       3.5       3.0
      3.5     ABOVE       4.0
$
$ NRR, NRS, and NRT are based on SIGYbasemin = min(SIGY1, SIGY2), where
$ SIGY1 and SIGY2 are the yield stresses for the parts being connected.
$ As with *SECTION_RANGE, any number of thickness ranges can be used, but the
$ table must start with "0.0" and end with "ABOVE".
$ If SIGYbasemin = 0.0 (for example when spotwelding material without yield
$ stress such as rigid or elastic), then SIGYbasemin will be set to SIGY on
$ *MAT_DEFAULTS.
$ If SIGYbasemin = 200, the parameters will be set: K=180. N=0.5 A=60 B=180
