Node

*Node
<node label>, <coordinate 1>, <coordinate 2> (, <coordinate 3>)
...

This option allows nodes and their coordinates to be defined. The meaning of the sub-keywords is as follows:

• node label: Node number, integer
• coordinate i: Coordinates defining the node. The third coordinate is only required for 3D models.

Consider the following example of four nodes \(n_i\) in a two dimensional domain:
