14. SPACEThe SPACE instruction is used to specify all the information that isassociated with a space.U-nameSPACELIKEMULTIPLI ERmust be specified for this instruction.tells LOADS that the data to follow specify thecharacteristics of a space.may be usea to copy data from a previously U-named SPACEinstruction. This does not include walls and windowsbelonging to that SPACE.may be used to specify the total number of identicalspaces. This reduces the amount of required data entry.Using MULTIPLIER with SPACE doesn't actually create otherSPACEs. MULTIPLIER does not duplicate the input data butrather the calculated answers.The user should be aware of one subtlety of using thekeyword MULTIPLIER in this instruction. Assume the user isattempting to simulate a multistory office building as inFig. III.21.Fig. III.21.TOP-FLOOR8••MID-FLOORS•••GROUND-FLOORt:'ll: ""',,,U I c,lllJ, =,"" ill' """",-Iliill _Illj~ 111::::l111I=111I1=1~-' -:::IIIE if Ii-'ll' ""Simulating a multistory building by usingMULTIPLIER in a SPACE instruction.In an attempt to reduce the effort of specifying input data,the user chooses to use MULTIPLIER. The SPACEs namedTOP-FLOOR and GROUND-FLOOR are truly both unique. Floors 2through 8, designated MID-FLOORS, are identical enough topermit the user of MULTIPLIER.
