Field	Contents
transform_ID	Transformation identifier (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
unit_ID	Optional unit identifier (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
transform_title	Transformation title (Character, maximum 100 characters)
grnd_ID	Node group identifier (Integer)
X_translation	Translation value along global X-axis Default = 0.0 (Real)
Y_translation	Translation value along global Y-axis Default = 0.0 (Real)
Z_translation	Translation value along global Z-axis Default = 0.0 (Real)
node_ID1	Node identifier 1 (Integer)
node_ID2	Node identifier 2 (Integer)
sub_ID	Submodel identifier (Integer)

1.	If node_ID1 and node_ID2 are defined, the translation will be performed with the vector (node_ID1, node_ID2). If only one node is defined, an error message is displayed.

Otherwise, the translation will be done with the defined value X_translation, Y_translation and Z_translation.

2.	A transformation can not apply to a node group and a submodel at the same time.

3.	If the transformation is done on a submodel, all the options of this submodel are transformed.

4.	A node can not be transformed both in a submodel and a node group.
