Comments

  1. This keyword maps to /SET.
  2. The adding and removing of elements in *SET_SOLID_GENERAL depends on the order of the TYPE options used.
  3. 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.
