Comments

  1. This keyword maps to /RBODY. If the _SPC option is used, it maps to /BCS.
  2. PNODE is used as the main node if the node does not belong to any deformable element. Otherwise the node is duplicated, and a new main node is created at the same position.
  3. The option “_TITLE” can be added to the end of this keyword. When “_TITLE” is included, an extra 80 character long line is added after the keyword input line which allows an entity title to be defined.
