Another capability closely associated with the operation of the lines facility is the use of node labels. This allows you to associate a descriptive name with a node of the finite element model. Thereafter you can refer to the node label rather than the node number in other areas of the program – for example, when you are assigning boundary conditions, or defining nodal equivalences. This is very useful when combined with the lines capability, as described shortly (in particular in Start and End Locations and Boundary Conditions). In a similar manner, element labels may be used to associate a descriptive name with an element of the finite element model. Again refer to Line Start and End Locations for further details.
