Comments

  1. Node groups are used to define secondary nodes of rigid walls, interfaces, rigid bodies or nodes to which a load is applied, like a concentrated load or a fixed velocity.
  2. The group includes first_ID, first_ID+Incr, first_ID+2*Incr, first_ID+3*Incr, … continuing through last_ID.
  3. Multiple first_ID, last_ID, and Incr lines can be defined in one block.
