Sam, While that would work, my goal is to maintain 1 data file. The two files I attached are the same except one has lines and one doesn't. I only included both so it wouldn't be necessary for you to delete the code yourself. Eventually, there is more I would like to include in this file (node numbering, cell numbering, tangent and normal vectors on the lines(the lines are meant to represent crack fronts).
Does this help?
