• The CORD2* commands come before the referenced grid point (node) commands whereas the CORD1* commands come after the GRID* commands.

• A GRID command for a point not in the default coordinate system should follow the command for the referenced coordinate system.

• Two grid points (nodes) that have the same ID but different coordinates are not allowed in the same file or included files.

• Two elements with the same ID are allowed only if they reference exactly the same grid points (nodes). This guideline also applies to different files read with an INCLUDE statement.

• Elements referencing scalar points—points without coordinates—cannot be created.

• Creo Simulate does not display the center node for CQUAD elements.

• The continuation of a command should follow on the next line.

• Creo Simulate does not import the Replication command.

• The end of deck is specified using the ENDDATA command.
