Ok,
In the BEM analysis, I need the user insert some internal points
coordinates. I thought to insert some fields (field with value="", like
below) to do it. Is it possible to a limited ou an unlimited number of
points? How can I make reference to this fields in the .bas file?
thanks.

Point 1 X: |_______| Y: |_______| Z: |_______|
Point 2 X: |_______| Y: |_______| Z: |_______|
Point 3 X: |_______| Y: |_______| Z: |_______|
...

You can create a field with a unlimited number of rows in a condition, material or general data:

file *.mat (or *.cnd *.prb):
NUMBER: 1 MATERIAL: Steel
QUESTION: Internal_Points(X,Y,Z)
VALUE: #N# 3 0.0 0.0 0.0
HELP: Internal points coordinates
END MATERIAL




#N#3 0.0 0.0 0.0 --Initially 3 values: 0.0, 0.0, 0.0

Then Matprop(Internal_Points) store a vector={Nº dates,X0,Y0,Z0,X1,Y1,Z1,...,Xn,Yn,Zn} for n+1 rows
Matprop(Internal_Points,int) return the number of components of this vector

file *.bas
*loop materials
*if(strcmp(Matprop(TypeId),"Metal")==0)
*set var N=Matprop(Internal_Points,int)
X Y Z
*for(i=1;i=N;i=i+3)
*Matprop(Internal_Points,*i) *Matprop(Internal_Points,*operation(i+1)) *Matprop(Internal_Points,*operation(i+2))
*end for
*endif
*end materials
