If OPTION1 = LIST, repeat the following line, as needed.

`N_ID1`	`N_ID2`	`N_ID3`	`N_ID4`	`N_ID5`	`N_ID6`	`N_ID7`	`N_ID8`

If OPTION1 = LIST_GENERATE, repeat the following line, as needed.

(1)	(2)	(3)	(4)	(5)	(6)	(7)	(8)
`N_IDB1`	`N_IDE1`	`N_IDB2`	`N_IDE2`	`N_IDB3`	`N_IDE3`	`N_IDB4`	`N_IDE4`

If OPTION1 = COLUMN, repeat the following line, as needed.

`N_ID1`

If OPTION1 = GENERAL, repeat the following lines for each TYPE used.

(1)	(2)	(3)	(4)	(5)	(6)	(7)	(8)
`TYPE`	`ID1`	`ID2`	`ID3`	`ID4`	`ID5`	`ID6`	`ID7`

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`OPTION1`	LIST (Default) Nodes in the set are listed 8 per line until the next keyword. LIST_GENERATE Nodes in the set include all the parts between `N_IDB1` – `N_IDE1`, `N_IDB2` – `N_IDE2`, `N_IDB3` – `N_IDE3`, and so on. COLUMN Enter one node per line in a column. GENERAL Nodes in the set are defined using the `TYPE` options defined. No default
`OPTION2`	<BLANK> Default Each set is treated separately. Sets cannot share the same ID. COLLECT All *SET_NODE with this option and the same ID are combined together into a single set.
`set_ID`	Node set identifier. (Integer)
`N_ID1` - `N_ID8`	Node IDs, 8 per line. (Integer)
`N_IDB1` - `N_IDB4`	First node ID of the range, 4 ranges per line. (Integer)
`N_IDE1` - `N_IDE4`	Last node ID of the range, 4 ranges per line. (Integer)
`TYPE`	ALL All nodes in the model are added to the set. No entities are listed for this option. NODE The listed nodes are added to the set. DNODE The listed nodes are removed from the set. PART The nodes from the listed parts are added to the set. DPART The nodes from the listed parts are removed from the set.
`ID1`, `ID2`, `ID3` ...	Entity IDs, 7 per line. (Integer)

This keyword maps to /SET.
The adding and removing of nodes in *SET_NODE_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.
