- | Note: The node numbering is arbitrary. However, in order to minimize storage and block operations as well as to provide flexibility for restart analysis with a new superstructure and for the incoherence analysis option, it is required to number the nodes at or below ground surface first, layer by layer, starting from the bottom. | + | |

The z-coordinate must always be chosen vertical upward and the right-hand-rule must be used to set X and Y coordinates. For 1D and 2D analysis, the program ignores the y-coordinate of the nodal points. | The z-coordinate must always be chosen vertical upward and the right-hand-rule must be used to set X and Y coordinates.
