Lists

Lists (of nodes, elements, members and cases) are used, for example, when a particular load is to be applied to one or several elements. To define a series of items the list can either specify each individually or, if applicable, use a more concise syntax.

Lists may be pre-defined separately by name and stored in the Lists module and later referenced by that name in e.g. the beam loads module; alternatively they may be specified directly in that module itself.
