**small

Description

Sets nodal coordinates with absolute values smaller than a preset value to zero ^{1 1}Available in 8.2+ only. This may be useful for instance for adding nsets with a criterion such as **nset nset_name *function (z==0); which will miss points that have very small non-zero z-coordinates due to numerical noise. This command acts on all components of the position vector of the given nodes.

Syntax

**small \(~\,\) [ *limit limiting_value ] \(~\,\) [ *nset nset_name ]

*limit

enter the limiting value (real value) below which the coordinate value will be set to zero. Negative values will have their minus chopped off. The default is 1.e-6.

*nset

apply to the given node set. The default is ALL_NODE.
