Required parameters
- CHANGE NUMBER
-
Set this parameter equal to an integer that will be added to each of the
existing node numbers to define the node numbers of the nodes being created.
- OLD SET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set being copied. This set
will be used for the copy operation with the nodes that belong to it at the
time this
NCOPY option appears in the input file.
Required, mutually exclusive parameters
- POLE
-
Include this parameter if the new nodes are created by projecting the nodes
in the old set from the pole node. Each new node will be located such that the
corresponding old node is equidistant between the pole node and the new node.
This parameter is particularly useful for creating nodes associated with
infinite elements (Infinite Elements).
- REFLECT
-
Set REFLECT=LINE to create the new nodes by reflection through a line.
Set REFLECT=MIRROR to create the new nodes by reflection through a plane.
Set REFLECT=POINT to create the new nodes by reflection through a point.
- SHIFT
-
Include this parameter if the new nodes are to be created by translation
and/or rotation of the nodes in the old node set. If both translation and
rotation are specified, the translation is applied once before the rotation.
Optional parameters
- MULTIPLE
-
This parameter is used with the SHIFT parameter to define the number of times the rotation should be
applied. The default is MULTIPLE=1.
- NEW SET
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set to which the nodes
created by the operation will be assigned. This new node set will be unsorted
if the OLD SET was unsorted and if the NEW SET does not already exist. Otherwise, this new node set will be a
sorted set.
If this parameter is omitted, the newly created nodes are not assigned to a
node set.
