transform_title	Transformation title (Character, maximum 100 characters)
grnd_ID	Node group identifier (Integer)
X_point_1	X coordinate of point 1 Default = 0.0 (Real)
Y_point_1	Y coordinate of point 1 Default = 0.0 (Real)
Z_point_1	Z coordinate of point 1 Default = 0.0 (Real)
node_ID1	Node identifier 1 (Integer)
node_ID2	Node identifier 2 (Integer)
X_point_2	X coordinate of point 2 Default = 0.0 (Real)

1.	If node_ID1 and node_ID2 are defined, the symmetry will be done on the plane normal to the vector defined by node_ID1 and node_ID2. The plane includes node_ID1. If only one node is defined, the error message is displayed.

Otherwise, the symmetry will be done on the plane normal to the vector defined by point_1 and point_2. The plane includes the point_1.
