!   TITLE:  tstart.mac (MANAGEMENT)
!
!
! This macro is used to measure the time duration it takes ANSYS to do
! a block of commands.
!
! The tstart/tstop pair of macro commands work just like a stopwatch.
! At the start of a block of code call "tstart" and then at the end call
! tstop.  The elapsed time since tstart was called is then displayed.
!
! The output gives the actual time the CPU spent on running ANSYS code and
! the elapsed wall clock time.
