NODE

Node number of the desired point. If zero, use X,Y,Z to describe point.

X, Y, Z

Global Cartesian coordinates of the desired summation point. Used if NODE is 0. Defaults to (0,0,0).

Command Default

No point is defined by default; you must either specify a node or coordinates.

Notes

Defines a point (any point other than the origin) about which the tabular moment summations are computed [NFORCE, FSUM]. If force summations are desired in other than the global Cartesian directions, a node number must be specified on the NODE field, and the desired coordinate system must be activated with RSYS.
