**resize_node

Description

This command is used to set the nodal position to have a desired dimension. Note that since version 8.0, the code supports mixed dimension meshes, and the dimension parameter in the .geof file is not used (left for compatibility reasons). If two coordinates are given in the node list, the node is a 2D node, and if three coordinates are given the node is a 3D node.

In Zmaster is is OK to have 3D nodes with 2D meshes, but in the FEA solver an error will be produced during the creation of DOFs and management of the shape functions.

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

**resize_node \(~\,\) *dim dim \(~\,\) *nsets nset1 … nsetN

The command *nsets can optionally be used to specify that the dimension change only apply to those nodes. The *dim command specifies the dimension to change to.
