ID# |
Unique scalar point identification number. No default (0 < Integer) |
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. |
