INTRODUCTION
A point part is a part composed only of nodes. It can be read in as a model part or can be created through the use of
the Point Part feature. In order to create the part, a series of point locations must be defined. The point locations can
be read from an external file, or can be created by placing the cursor tool at desired locations and adding points. You
can later edit the locations of, or delete any of the points. When you click Create a new part with only nodes is
created. This type of part can represent probes in the data, or lends itself well to meshing into a 2D or 3D part. As the
variables of the model parts are mapped to the point part locations, it is also a great way to write out nodal variable
information (using File->Save->Geometric Entities) for further calculations.
