Required parameters
- NSET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set to which the nodes will
be assigned.
Optional parameters
- ELSET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of a previously defined element set.
The nodes that define the elements that belong to this element set at the time
this option is encountered will be assigned to the node set specified. The UNSORTED parameter cannot be used with this parameter.
The ELSET and GENERATE parameters are mutually exclusive.
- GENERATE
-
If this parameter is included, each data line should give a first node,
;
a last node; ;
and the increment in node numbers between these nodes, i.
Then, all nodes going from
to
in steps of i will be added to the set.
i must be an integer such that
is a whole number (not a fraction).
The ELSET and GENERATE parameters are mutually exclusive.
- INSTANCE
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the part instance that contains the
nodes listed on the data line. This parameter can be used only at the assembly
level and is intended to be used as a shortcut to the naming convention. It can
be used only in a model defined in terms of an assembly of part instances.
- INTERNAL
-
Abaqus/CAE
uses the INTERNAL parameter to identify sets that are created internally. The INTERNAL parameter is used only in models defined in terms of an
assembly of part instances. The default is to omit the INTERNAL parameter.
- UNSORTED
-
If this parameter is included, the nodes in this node set will be assigned
to the set (or added to the set if it already exists) in the order in which
they are given. This parameter will be ignored if the ELSET parameter is used.
If this parameter is omitted, the nodes in the set are sorted into ascending
order of their node numbers, with duplicates eliminated.
Data lines if the GENERATE parameter is omitted
- First line
-
List of nodes or node set labels to be assigned to this node set. Only
previously defined node sets can be assigned to another node set.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Up to 16
entries are allowed per line.
Data lines if the GENERATE parameter is included
- First line
-
First node in the set.
-
Last node in the set.
-
Increment in node numbers between nodes in the set. The default is 1.
Repeat this data line as often as
necessary.
There
are no data lines when the ELSET parameter is
specified
