Set this parameter equal to the name of the node set containing the nodes to be adjusted.
Set this parameter equal to the name of surface to which the nodes are to be adjusted.
Set this parameter equal to the name of an orientation definition (see “Orientations,” Section 2.2.5 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide) that defines the direction for adjusting nodes. If this parameter is omitted, the nodes are adjusted normal to the specified surface. Only rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical orientation definitions are supported. Additional rotations defined as part of the orientation definition are ignored.
