Comments
- The node node_IDc is the scale center.
- If the node node_IDc is not defined, the origin (0,0,0) will be used as scale center.
- The scaling is done in the global frame.
- Transforms applied to node groups only transform the nodal coordinates. Material directions for orthotropic materials and boundary conditions such as initial velocity, imposed movement are not transformed.
