All nodes are defined in this file. This includes:

  • Node * XPoint

    • EPOINT

    • SPOINT

    • XPoints * EPOINTs * SPOINTs

    • GRID

    • GRDSET

    • GRIDB

All ungrouped elements are Node objects.

The EPOINT/SPOINT classes refer to a single EPOINT/SPOINT. The EPOINTs/SPOINTs classes are for multiple degrees of freedom (e.g. an SPOINT card).
