ID#

Scalar point identification number.

No default (0 < Integer)

Comments

  1. A scalar point defined by its appearance on the connection entry for a scalar element (see the CELAS, CMASS, and CDAMP entries) need not appear on an SPOINT entry.

  2. All scalar point identification numbers must be unique with respect to all other scalar and grid points.

  3. This entry is used primarily to define scalar points appearing in single-point or multi-point constraint equations to which no scalar elements are connected.

  4. If the alternate format is used, all scalar points ID1 through ID2 are defined. ID1 must be less than ID2.
