Required, mutually exclusive parameters:
POLE
Include this parameter if the new nodes are created by projecting the nodes in the old set from
the pole node. Each ne w node will be located such that the corresponding old node is equidistant
between the pole node and the new node.
This parameter is particularly useful for creating nodes associated with infinite elements
(“Infinite elem ents,” Section 22.2.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual).
REFLECT
Set REFLECT=LINE to create the new nodes by reflection through a line.
Set REFLECT=MIRROR to create the new nodes by reflection through a plane.
Set REFLECT=POINT to create the new nodes by reflection through a point.
SHIFT
Include this parameter if the new nodes are to be created by translation and/or rotation of the nodes
in the old node set. If both trans lation and rotation are specified, the translation is applied once
before the rotation.
