Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`OPTION`	LIST (Default) Nodes in the set are listed 8 per line until the next keyword. LIST_GENERATE Nodes in the set include all the parts between `N_IDB1` – `N_IDE1`, `N_IDB2` – `N_IDE2`, `N_IDB3` – `N_IDE3`, etc. GENERAL Node in the set are defined using the `TYPE` options defined.
`set_ID`	Node set identifier (Integer)
`N_ID1` - `N_ID10`	Node IDs, 8 per line (Integer)
`N_IDB1` - `N_IDB5`	First node ID of the range, 4 ranges per line (Integer)
`N_IDE1` - `N_IDE5`	Last node ID of the range, 4 ranges per line (Integer)
`TYPE`	ALL All nodes in the model are added to the set. No entities are listed for this option. NODE The listed nodes are added to the set. NODE_D The listed nodes are removed to the set. PART The nodes from the listed parts are added to the set. PART_D The nodes from the listed parts are removed to the set.
`ID1`, `ID2`, `ID3` ..	Entity IDs, 7 per line (Integer)

This keyword maps to /SET/GENERAL.
The adding and removing of nodes in *SET_NODE_GENERAL depends on the order of the TYPE options used.
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.
