*NSET
INTERNAL
ABAQUS/CAE uses the INTERNAL parameter to identify sets that are created internally. The
INTERNAL parameter is used only in models defined in terms of an assembly of part instances.
The default is to omit the INTERNAL parameter.
UNSORTED
If this parameter is included, the nodes in this node set will be assigned to the set (or added to the
set if it already exists) in the order in which they are given. This parameter will be ignored if the
ELSET parameter is used.
If this parameter is omitted, the nodes in the set are sorted into ascending order of their node
numbers, with duplicates eliminated.
Data lines if the GENERATE parameter is omitted:
First line:
1. List of nodes or node set labels to be assigned to this node set. Only previously defined node
sets can be assigned to another node set.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Up to 16 entries are allowed per line.
Data lines if the GENERATE parameter is included:
First line:
1. First node in the set.
2. Last node in the set.
3. Increment in node numbers between nodes in the set. The default is 1.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary.
There are no data lines when the ELSET parameter is specified.
