 We start by defining the positions of the nodes where we place the origin at node 1. ''nodes'' is an n<sub>n</sub>×3 matrix for //defining the positions of the nodes//. Each row represents a node (there are n<sub>n</sub> nodes). The row number determines the number a node gets. The first column contains the ''x''-coordinate of the node position, the second column the ''y''-coordinate, and the third column the ''z''-coordinate. We start by defining the positions of the nodes where we place the origin at node 1.

 ===== Node properties ===== ===== Node properties =====
 Node properties are defined by a structure array to assign properties to nodes, such as boundary conditions, applied loads, and inertia. The usage is ''nprops(i).field = value;'' to assign property ''field'' with value ''value'' to node ''i''. For a full syntax list with all possible inputs, see [[full_syntax#3. Node properties|SPACAR Light syntax]]. Node properties are defined by a structure array to assign properties to nodes, such as boundary conditions, applied loads, and inertia.
