This is an element, in which a gas mass flow is split into three separate
branches.(See Fig.95) It
is characterized by the following constants (to be specified in that order on
the line beneath the *FLUID SECTION, TYPE=CROSS SPLIT card):
- label of the element defined as branch 0.
- label of the element defined as branch 1.
- label of the element defined as branch 2.
- label of the element defined as branch 3.
- cross section  of branch 0, whereas of branch 0, whereas  
- cross section  of branch 2, whereas of branch 2, whereas  
- angle 
 . .
- angle

 -correction factor -correction factor for the main passage  ( for the main passage  ( ) )
 -correction factor -correction factor for the branches  ( for the branches  ( ) )
