Predefined variables.

VariablesDependenceNote

lift_ID Element dependentThe label of the casting sequence and lift_ID     0 represent the nonconcrete elements (i.e., rock base).
mono_ID Lift dependentThe variable represents the monolith to which the lift belongs, and mono_ID 0   =  0.
z_mono Monolith dependentThe variable represents the highest elevation of each monolith during construction, where all variables are initially set as 0.
