Geometry.CreateNode

This function adds a node in the structure with the number specified in nNodeNo. The difference between CreateNode and AddNode is the former has an option to label the node with any user-defined number.

Where:

nNodeNo

A long variable containing the number to assign the newly created node.

CoordX, CoordY, CoordZ

Double variables providing the nodal coordinates X, Y and Z of the nNodeNo.
