Notes
Writes selected nodes (NSEL]) to a file. The write operation is not necessary in a standard Mechanical APDL run but is provided as a convenience to those who want coded node file.
Data are written in a coded format. The format used is (I9, 6G21.13E3) to write out
NODE,X,Y,Z,THXY,THYZ,THZX.
If the last number is zero (THZX = 0), or the last set of numbers are
zero, they are not written but are left blank. Therefore, use a formatted read to process this
file.
Coordinate values are in the global Cartesian system.
