Comments
- 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.
- This entry is used primarily to define scalar points appearing in single-point or multipoint constraint equations to which no scalar elements are connected.
- If the alternate format is used, all scalar points ID1 through ID2 are defined. ID1 must be less than ID2.
- Alternate format can be combined with regular format, and it can span across continuation lines.
- This card is represented as a node in HyperMesh.
