Comments

1.A scalar point defined by its appearance on the connection entry for a scalar element (see the CELAS, CMASS, and CDAMP entries) does not need to appear on an SPOINT entry.
2.This entry is used primarily to define scalar points appearing in single-point or multipoint constraint equations to which no scalar elements are connected.
3.If the alternate format is used, all scalar points ID1 through ID2 are defined. ID1 must be less than ID2.
4.Alternate format can be combined with regular format, and it can span across continuation lines.
5.This card is represented as a node in HyperMesh.
