Definition

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`OPTION1`	<BLANK> (Default) The springs in the set are listed 8 per line until the next keyword. GENERATE The springs in the set include all the parts between `E_IDB1` – `E_IDE1`, `E_IDB2` – `E_IDE2`, `E_IDB3` – `E_IDE3`, and so on. GENERATE_INCREMENT The springs in the set include all the parts between `E_IDB1` – `E_IDE1` with the increment value `INCR`. GENERAL The springs in the set are defined using the `TYPE` options defined.
`OPTION2`	<BLANK> Default Each set is treated separately. Sets cannot share the same ID. COLLECT All *SET_DISCRETE with this option and the same ID are combined together into a single set.
`set_ID`	Set identifier. (Integer)
`E_ID1` - `E_ID8`	Element IDs, 8 per line. (Integer)
`E_IDB1` - `E_IDB4`	First element ID of the range, 4 ranges per line. (Integer)
`E_IDE1` - `E_IDE4`	Last element ID of the range, 4 ranges per line. (Integer)
`E_IDB`	First element ID of the range. (Integer)
`E_IDE`	Last element ID of the range. (Integer)
`INCR`	Increment value for the list generation from `E_IDB` to `E_IDE`. Default = 1 (Integer)
`TYPE`	ALL All springs in the model are added to the set. No entities are listed for this option. ELEM The listed springs are added to the set. DELEM The listed springs are removed from the set. PART The springs from the listed parts are added to the set. DPART The springs from the listed parts are removed from the set. BOX The springs inside the listed boxes are added to the set. DBOX The springs inside the listed boxes are removed from the set. No default
`ID1`, `ID2`, `ID3` ..	Entity IDs, 7 per line. (Integer)

Comments

This keyword maps to /SET.
The adding and removing of springs in *SET_DISCRETE_GENERAL depends on the order of the TYPE options used.
The option “_TITLE” can be added to the end of this keyword. When “_TITLE” is included, an extra 80 characters long line is added after the keyword input line which allows an entity title to be defined.
