When creating a new CMS superelement from an existing superelement (SESYMM or SETRAN) during the use pass, you can specify an offset value to the node or element IDs in the finite element geometry record saved in the .rst results file (RSTOFF).

With appropriate offsets, you can write additional results files with unique node or element IDs and thus display the entire model, even if the original superelements have overlapping node or element sets. Results files containing the offset node or element IDs are incompatible with the .db database files saved at the generation pass.

After performing the use pass and expansion pass for all CMS superelements, the mode shape display of the entire assembled structure shows the offset superelements in their transformed locations.
