8.2.5.1} Expansion

 This directive provides a coordinate expansion (or reduction) of the body
 dimensions by a defined scaling factor, for all bodies embedded between the two
 lines.

 $Start_expansion [scaling factor]

Example:
 $Start_expansion 10.
 QUA  Elipsoid  0.0025 0.04 0.0064 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.055 0.64 0.0256 1.8881
 $End_expansion
 transforms an ellipsoid centred at (11, 8, -2), with semiaxes 20, 5 and 12.5 cm
 long parallel to the coordinate axes, to one centred at (110, 80, -20)
 with semiaxes 200, 50 and 125 cm long.
