Notes

Writes selected nodes [NSEL] to a file. The write operation is not necessary in a standard ANSYS run but is provided as a convenience to users wanting a coded node file. Data are written in a coded format. The format used is (I9, 6G21.13E3) to write out NODE,X,Y,Z,THXY,THYZ,THZX. If the last number is zero (THZX = 0), or the last set of numbers are zero, they are not written but are left blank. Therefore, you must use a formatted read to process this file. Coordinate values are in the global Cartesian system.
